The World Heritage Committee's own listing record for Fujisan, inscribed in 2013 under cultural criteria iii and vi. Describes the property as twenty five sites reflecting Mount Fuji's sacred and artistic landscape, including pilgrim routes and crater shrines on the mountain's upper slopes, Sengen jinja shrines and Oshi lodging houses at its base, and volcanic features such as lava tree molds, lakes, springs and waterfalls that are themselves revered as sacred. States that the mountain became a centre of ascetic Buddhist training in the twelfth century, a practice that incorporated Shinto elements, and that its nineteenth century depiction in Japanese woodblock prints shaped the development of Western art.
