Faith in Mt. Fuji. It is a representative form of mountain worship in Japan. The mountain's beautiful shape has been the subject of nature worship since ancient times. In the early Heian period, Tono Ryoka's Fujisan-ki describes the plumes of smoke from the active volcano as two beautiful women in white dancing on the mountain's peak, indicating that the mountain god is a goddess. In later times, the mountain god of Fuji was assumed to be the mythical Princess Konohanasakuya, but she is also known as Asama no Okami. During the process of Shinto-Buddhist syncretism, Asama no Okami became known as Asama Daibosatsu, but her image was still that of a goddess.

富士山を対象とする信仰。日本の山岳信仰の代表的なものである。その秀麗な山容は古代より自然崇拝の対象となっていた。平安時代初期の都良香《富士山記》には,活火山であった富士の噴煙がたなびくありさまを,白衣の美女2人が山峰で舞うと表現しており,山神が女神であることを示している。後世になり,富士の山神は神話上の木花開耶姫(このはなのさくやびめ)に想定されたが,別に浅間大神とも称されている。浅間大神は神仏習合の過程で浅間大菩薩の名称になったが,そのイメージはやはり女神であった。
