100 famous mountains in Japan. Nihon hyakumeizan ()

富士山 The 100 most famous mountains of Japan there was a book written by the montañero Kyuuya Fukada (深田久弥) in 1964 that was happening without sorrow or glory in the shelves fans' of the mountain until it was known that it was one of the favorite books of prince Naruhito and skylight, “Bottom I see bottom want” the whole world he was interested by the book. Even the NHK produced a documentary series on the mountains of this list and finished off the move.

According to the wikipedia (this information source if to contrast) the author of this list was not feeling satisfied with another work of beginning of the XIXth. That list was consisting of 90 famous mountains that the most famous painter and poet selected and did. According to the wikipedia what he did not like of that list is that it was including "small" mountains so instead of criticizing one started working and it selected 100 mountains for his elegance, history, character and height. It excluded from his list any mountain of less of 1500m

I count all this roll because I have just located 100 mountains in the map. It is not that he tries to climb 100 mountains, but it is possible that it bears them in mind at the time of deciding the route.

Sincerely I consider to be more interesting the list of 90 mountains but it turned out to be easier to find others so I also am going to discriminate to the mountains for his height to me.
