Hidden Symbolism behind Japan’s Mount Fuji Revealed
Here are some interesting facts about Mount Fuji that you probably didn’t know. Did you know that in Japanese the word for Mount Fuji also means death? It’s true. The Japanese have a unique way of describing Mount Fuji which is considered a sacred mountain in their culture. They call it a Fuji sun which literally means mount death. This is because the mountain is associated with death and suffering. In fact, there is a Buddhist temple on its slopes dedicated to the god of death. But wait, it gets weirder. The last eruption of Mount Fuji was in 1707. And since then, the volcano has been dormant. However, it is expected to erupt again sometime in the next 30 years. And when it does, it will be a massive eruption that will likely kill thousands of people. Despite this, Mount Fuji is still considered a symbol of Japan and its people. It represents the country’s natural beauty, but also its resilience in the face of adversity. The Japanese have a saying that goes, “As the mountain is high, the pine trees on its slopes grow strong.” This is because the pine trees on Mount Fuji have to endure harsh conditions. Just like the Japanese people had to endure the hardships of war and natural disasters.
