Hokusai and his love affair of Mt Fuji
"Mount Fuji is a popular subject for Japanese art due to its cultural and religious signifigance. This belief can be traced to the The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, where a goddess deposits the elixir of life on the peak. As Henry Smith explains, "Thus from an early time, Mt. Fuji was seen as the source of the secret of immortality, a tradition that was at the heart of Hokusai's own obsession with the mountain."
