  Shambhala - 100 Views of Mount Fuji   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Mt Fuji may be the enduring symbol of Japan, and one which has not changed shape radically since the last eruption in 1707, but artists have been indefatigable in trying to do something new with it.
This identification of Konohanasakuya-hime with Fuji took place 'at the unrecorded level of folk belief in the late medieval period, from the fourteenth to the sixteenth centuries' and was well established by the Edo Period (1600–1868).
Fuji is co-opted to express a Buddhist message of detachment from worldly concerns, one which is mediated by the heightened poetic sensibility of an individual, creative imagination.

 Distributed Hydrological Model for Fuji River Basin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
A distributed hydrological model is developed and applied to the Fuji River basin of 3,432 km² in Japan, which is divided into squared meshes of 1 km resolution.
Mesh meteorological data of temperature, wind speed, sunshine, precipitation, cloud amount and humidity are produced from weather stations and geographic information system data by a stepwise regression method that characterizes relationships between meteorology and geography.
Then a comparatively simple distributed model is proposed, with a submodel of soil-vegetation-atmosphere-transfer type for any mesh and a conceptual submodel for river routing.

The following is a list of rivers that feature white water rafting, kayaking and white water sports.
