Mount Fujiyama

The great mountain of the Japanese pantheon, known as Fuji-san, the Immortal Mountain, the Mountain of Wisterias or Blue Rain Hill, Fujiyama represents the centre of the Multiverse for those who follow Those Who Invite. Fujiyama has its peak, like that of Olympus, at the home of the pantheon leaders of the associated pantheon: Cherry Blossom in Abellio. From here, the realm of Izanagi and Izanami, the Mountain stretches out to touch Mount Celestia, Ysgard, Elysium, Carceri, Acheron and Pandemonium. It touches Limbo intermittently, and avoids Bytopia, leaving Ama-tsu-mara’s realm somewhat stranded. It will be observed that the only plane touched by Olympus and Fujiyama is Carceri, a plane otherwise infamous for its inescapability. It is this separation of domains that symbolises the apathetic relations between the Japanese powers (often called the ‘Ancestors of Fujiyama’) and the Olympians: The lawful bent of many Japanese powers contrasts with the strong individualism of the Greeks. It was for mucking about in the way the Olympians do that Susanoo was cast out of heaven by the Japanese powers. Fujiyama is ruled by three minor powers: Sengen, goddess of blossom; Kuni-Toko-Tachi, who watches over pilgrims to the realms of the Mountain; and O-Ana-Mochi, the god of the crater atop the mountain. Fujiyama is incredibly beautiful, even when seen from the Lower Planes, and is a very popular subject for artwork.
