View Japanese Folklore What Happens When Mount Fuji Erupts Pics. I am seriously thinking to be farmer in the u.s. The top two are known as old fuji (ko fuji) and young fuji (shin fuji).
The hōei eruption of mount fuji started on december 16, 1707 and ended about january 1, 1708 during the edo period.
The japanese government shared how the eruption would affect the country and the residents. The japanese volcano's fissures first erupted in the latter half of the 9th century in the heian period. Although mount fuji has been dormant for over 300 years, for the last 10 years, japanese geologists have found clues that may indicate that the volcano is due to erupt. The last time mount fuji erupted was in 1707, over 300 years ago.
