EDITORS COMMENTS
Fuji-san, also known as Fujisawa-yama or Fujisayana, is Japan's most famous and iconic volcano. This stunning illustration, dating back to the circa 1900s, captures the dormant beauty of Fuji-san as a lantern slide. The image showcases the symmetrical mountain peak, shrouded in a light layer of clouds, with its snow-capped summit reaching towards the heavens. The serene surroundings of the illustration, with lush greenery and a tranquil lake at its base, add to the sense of peace and harmony. Fuji-san, located in the Fuji Five Lakes region, is an active stratovolcano that last erupted in 1707. Despite its dormant state, it remains a popular destination for pilgrimages and tourists from around the world, who come to pay their respects and marvel at its breathtaking beauty. The mountain is considered a sacred site in Shintoism, the indigenous religion of Japan, and is often depicted in art and literature. This illustration, as a lantern slide, would have been used for educational or entertainment purposes during the early 20th century. The intricate details of the mountain's terrain, the delicate rendering of the clouds, and the vibrant colors of the vegetation all contribute to the captivating and immersive experience of this historical image. The illustration serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Fuji-san, a symbol of Japan's rich cultural heritage and natural wonders.
