A professor and researcher at the University of Grenoble Alpes who lived in Japan for six years, Charlotte Lamotte is an anthropologist who studies the construction of the religious landscape and conceptions of mountains in Japan.
Mount Fuji is an active volcano rising to 3,776 meters, listed since 2013 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a “sacred place and source of artistic inspiration.” A place of extraordinary religious significance, its representations are refracted infinitely, like a kaleidoscope. Due to its history and unique characteristics, Mount Fuji is a “super mountain,” which explains its predominant place and allows it to be a model, itself influenced by external concepts from other sacred and sometimes older peaks.
