Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Japan
In the thirteenth century the houses in Kamakura were thrown down, and from fis sures in the neighbouring hills blue flames issued during the succeeding century; the head of the highest mountain in Japan, Fuji-san disappeared to a depth of 100 feet, so that the mountain lost 100 feet of its height. In the eighteenth century a terrible eruption of Fuji-san took place. The moun tain also changed somewhat its conformation, a new peak being produced, which was named Hoyei - san. Even in this century Japan has suffered severely from convulsions of the earth, landslips, and in consequence, disastrous floods.
