Episode 2: Kasagumo: Guardian of Mount Fuji
March 5, 2026 • 44 min
The appearance of the mysterious "cloud hat" Kasagumo on the summit of Mount Fuji is the result of an interplay between wind, humidity, and the volcano's shape. It fascinates meteorologists, artists, and tea farmers, and plays an important role in Japanese spirituality and agriculture—a symbol of the fleeting beauty of natural phenomena and the ideal of harmony.
