26 Beautiful Vintage Photos of Mount Fuji

By Muza-chan on Feb 8, 2010 | In Japan travel | 59 feedbacks »

Japan’s love for Mount Fuji, the most famous place in Japan, remained unchanged over the years. Fuji-san (富士山) is definitely the most represented place from Japan, starting with the ukiyo-e paintings, continuing with the first sepia/black-and-white photos and with today’s photos, when we can easily admire it even from space…

However, although it’s a lot easier today to take a photo of Mount Fuji, the smog and pollution makes it harder, so you have to be a little lucky to see it.

Let’s enjoy a selection of century old photos with Mount Fuji, from a time when it was harder to take a picture of it, but a lot easier to… see it.
First, 20 photos made by the same photographer who made the Geisha photos we recently enjoyed, T. Enami…
