Mt. Fuji
Japan's highest and most famous peak, Mt. Fuji has inspired artists and poets since time immemorial. It occupies a special place in the hearts of Japanese people, and it holds great religious significance. These are some of the main reasons why Mt. Fuji was recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This week together with our guest, the well-known translator and artist Peter MacMillan, we'll be looking at the multitude of designs inspired by Mt. Fuji as we investigate the Japanese fascination with this majestic mountain.
