Mount Fuji is a popular and cherished symbol inside Japan. So much so that many small replicas were built in and around Tokyo. These little Fuji mountains are called Fujizuka, miniature replicas created from rocks and plants taken from the real Mount Fuji. Many Japanese believed that Mount Fuji was a god or that a god lived in the mountain and many people in Tokyo worshiped the mountain, leading to the construction of many small replicas all over town. The cult worshiping Mount Fuji, called Fujikou, originated from early 16th century and reached its peak popularity in the 18th century. Obviously, one of the major devotional rites was to climb to Mount Fuji, but if that was impossible the next best option would be to climb one of the surrogates.
