Fuji-san, Japan's sacred mountain, tells the story of Hokusai, the artist who enthusiastically painted it 36 times.

A lively account about Hokusai, as told by one of his main sources of inspiration: Mount Fuji. The sacred Japanese mountain Fuji-san is the unexpected narrator of this account of Hokusai, a man obsessed with drawing, who drew the mountain thirty-six times, close-up and from a distance, in his iconic work The Great Wave, at dawn and at twilight, in snow and during a storm… "In his last painting, a dragon spreads his wings up above my peak. I like to think this dragon valiantly gliding over the clouds is him—that old fanatic for drawing."
