 Mt.Fuji (History)
|
Mt.fuji is 3,376meters above sea level. It
is an active volcano. The last eruption was
on the twenty-third day of the Eleventh Moon
in the Forth Year of Hou-ei (1707). At that
time Mt.Hoei appeared on the side of Mt.Fuji.

COLD
January 30 2003, it was very cold on the
peak of Mt.Fuji.The temperature went down
to -26.2 degrees centigrade .The wind was
blowing from the west at 34.4 meters per
second. The snow was whirled up by the wind
and it looked, at a distance, like a great
tongue of flame shooting out from the sun's
surface.

RAIN
They say when Mt.Fuji puts up it's umbrella
it shall begin to rain. The umbrella is the
cloud. They call it"Kasa-gumo".
Kasa means umbrella and gumo means cloud.
On Feb. 8 in the afternoon we saw kasagumo,
and we knew it would rain that night, and
it did at Ohito town.
|
Kasa-gumo reached Mt.Fuji. |
