Fuji Fujiyama Liebig Mount Photographed Volcano
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Fuji, also known as Fujiyama, is the most iconic and recognizable symbol of Japan, both in art and in reality. This historical photograph, taken in 1905, captures the majestic beauty and grandeur of this famous volcano. The image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring allure of Mount Fuji, which has inspired artists and photographers for centuries. Mount Fuji is located in Honshu, the largest island of Japan, and is the highest mountain in the country, standing at an elevation of 3,776.24 meters (12,389 feet). It is an active stratovolcano, last erupting in 1707, and its symmetrical shape has made it a sacred site in Japanese culture. Mount Fuji has been a source of inspiration for artists and writers for over a thousand years, with the first recorded painting of the mountain dating back to the 11th century. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, captures the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji rising above the clouds, with the surrounding landscape shrouded in mist. The image is reminiscent of the famous painting of Mount Fuji by the German photographer Hans Liebig, also known as "Fuji from Gokoku no Mori," which was taken in 1873. Liebig's photograph is considered one of the earliest known color photographs of Japan and is a masterpiece of early photographic history. This photograph from the Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to witness the beauty and majesty of Mount Fuji as it was captured over a century ago. The image is a reminder of the enduring power and allure of nature, and the role that Mount Fuji has played in shaping Japanese culture and history.
