Mount Fuji has recently been named a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mountain has long been engrained in the Japanese soul as an object of worship and as the source of countless pieces of art. This episode takes a look into the deep relationship Fuji shares with water, which is indispensable to the view of the mountain. It also explores the reason why many Japanese people share the image of the mountain as having a summit with three peaks. From the Middle Ages to the present day, Mount Fuji has been the theme for many pieces of art produced by countless painters and creators, and as such, has been admired by the people in everyday life. We delve into the deep beauty of the mountain through the keywords of "water", "worship", and "design".
