1870 A jar in which the Loo Chooan dead are buried. 62701 Two out for a "riki" ride. JanOP1-75:3 Japanese pilgrim returning from a visit to the top of peerless Fuji. The nine care takers in charge of as many rest stations on the ascent, burn on the walking sticks the names of their stations to show that the trip has actually been made. The ascent is usually made between the 15th of July and 15th of Sept. as c***s fear taking the trip as long as there is any snow on the grass. In former years women were debarred from ascending to the top of all these sacred peaks. In some localities the rule is still enforced. The height is 12,365 ft. Last eruption took place between Dec. 16, 1707 and Jan. 22, 1708.
