富士山 (3,776 m) is an active stratovolcano and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The characters 富士 are a phonetic transliteration of the Japanese name Fuji; they do not carry their usual Chinese meanings of 'wealthy' and 'samurai' in this context.
Japan's iconic volcanic peak, appearing in thousands of artworks including Hokusai's 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'. A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most universally recognised symbol of Japan.
