Is it a REQUIREMENT that reporters be stupid?
Fuji-san = Mr. Fuji, or maybe better, Honorable Fuji.
Fujiyama = Fuji Mountain.
Mt. Fujiyama = Mount Fuji Mountain...
In 1957 I was an eight year old kid who saw Fujiyama’s looming shadow every sunset from the U.S. Forces housing area. On rare clear mornings we saw its trademark snowcapped peak.
I didn’t know at that tender age about things like the rape of Nanjing, Pearl Harbor, or the Bataan Death March. Hiroshima and Nagasaki, either.
