Fuji - the highest mountain in Japan, the eternal symbol of an entire nation and an everlasting icon. Until just a few decades ago, there was only one accepted form of depiction of the sacred mountain: the beautiful, sacred, and iconic way coined by Japanese woodcut artists. This has fundamentally changed since the 2000s; Although Mount Fuji is still shown today in its sublime, mighty form, it is also sexualized, marginalized and portrayed on a tiny scale, staged as an aggressor or a dangerous volcano. In this book, all of the national and international contemporary artworks depicting Mount Fuji are examined in an integrated manner. It turns out that the contemporary works deal with exactly those topics that are also controversially discussed in today's Japanese society: the resurgent nationalism, the triple catastrophe of 2011 and the apparent conflict between tradition and modernity are just a few examples.
