I am a mountain man from Matsumoto City.
In this article, I will introduce vases depicting Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan
Mount Fuji: great to climb, to admire, and to display.
Mount Fuji vases are beautiful as ornaments, with a strong presence even without flowers arranged in them.
Also, Mount Fuji’s “spreading shape” and the pun on “Fuji = immortality” make it a symbol of prosperity, longevity, and good health—an auspicious item.
Mount Fuji was registered as a World Cultural Heritage site in 2013.
It is recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as “Mount Fuji – Object of Worship and Source of Art.”
This blog post introduces vases depicting Mount Fuji as part of the “Source of Art” aspect.
Mount Fuji is not only a treasure of Japan but a treasure of the world.
I would like to acquire my favorite vase regardless of budget.
Please note I have no expertise in art appraisal or authentication.
Based on my experience climbing Mount Fuji dozens of times and viewing it from various mountains, I have selected vases that gave me a sense of “this is a good Mount Fuji.”
