ecosystem of Mt.Fuji

  Mt. Fuji is the symbol existence of our country as a mountain of the faith of the highest peak in Japan. The opinions that world heritage registration will be aimed at are also mounting. Various subjects, such as destruction of nature by a mountaineer's urine, illegal disposal of garbage, and operation of a four-wheel drive car, are held. And it is said that it has been thought that it is not so interesting a mountain if Mt. Fuji is seen biologically.
  It is the big reason that there are little Alpine animals and plants comparatively with high altitude. Even if it climbs a mountain,you cannot be seen in komakusa ,haimatu which are well known as an alpine plant.And you cannot be seen in Raicho which are well known as a bird.When the organism species of an alpine belt expanded distribution to the glacial period and warming progressed, it should be left in the alp. Since active volcanic activity had after that been maintained, it was not able to live. Therefore, it seldom seemed the attractive mountain, considering the researcher of a living thing, etc.  
  However, when biodiversity has considered environment in the past several years, it has been observed as an important problem.The present condition of the natural environment of this area has been grasped, and it was carried out by power being put into that preservation. Moreover, Mt. Fuji needed to collect the basic data about an ecosystem immediately, also when it would visit to do the sights, natural environment would also get worse and more than every year 20 million persons would preserve environment, if the surrounding Five Lakes of Mount Fuji etc. were included.

art of Mt.Fuji

  Mt. Fuji has been used for pictures as a symbol of Japan from ancient times.It is a home country of the heart for a Japanese for many years, and became a stage of pictures, literature, or theater, and many works of art are produced until it continues up to now. I think there is no mountain drawn by the plentiful painter like Mt. Fuji.  There are especially many works in the field of ukiyoe. Ukiyoe is the most popular printed matter describing all the fashion things of Edo. I think that three famous person as an ukiyoe artist .It is Hokusai Katsushika, Hiroshige Utagawa, and Taikan Yokoyama. They told the beauty of Mt. Fuji, and grandeur to the whole country and the world by ukiyoe. Hokusai Katsushika is one of the painters who played an active part in Japan most as an ukiyoe artist in the late Edo period. Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji( Fugaku Sanjūrokkei) is shown in his masterpiece.Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji is the ukiyoe as which the activity of nature or people and fusion in the four seasons are expressed with Mt. Fuji. His work is not only drawing the landscape. Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji is expressed the power of the human being who fights to rolling Onami. And while drawn people are dynamic, Mt. Fuji is overlooking people without moving. The stillness and the magnificence of Mt. Fuji were also able to be felt for such a point.
  The next is Hiroshige Utagawa.Hiroshige Utagawa is the painter who played an active part in the end-of-Edo-Period term, and he made famous place drawing elated. There is famous "Fuji 36 view" of Hiroshige who drew Mt. Fuji . This is a famous work like Hokusai Katsushika. I felt that while Hokusai focused on the person ,Hiroshige Utagawa is putting power into the landscape. "In for example, Kuwana", As opposed to Hiroshige who draws a global image and pictures the scenery of a trip delicately, Hokusai takes a close-up of to the woman who burns the shellfish which is a noted product of Kuwana. Thus, it is also charm that not only both feature but a situation of those days is more vividly transmitted by being described from a viewpoint which is different also at the same place. Finally it talks about Taikan Yokoyama. Since he was my local graduate person, I was looking at the work which he drew from before. Taikan Yokoyama who played the large role in development of a modern Japanese painting began to draw Mt. Fuji on the theme, and has left the work of about 1500 points to the whole life.
 The work which I like in his work is "Fuji reihou".It is a golden folding screen, and this work is drawn just like God in Mt. Fuji, and is a wonderful work. A peculiar atmosphere which is different in two persons is made, and I had the heart held by the grand point. Moreover, it was in use to have drawn a Japanese painting by the line of sumi those days. However, the trial which tried to take in the "feeling of air" like oil painting is also seen from each work. It is all.
