A photographic ascent of Mt. Chokai

This compact hardcover documents climbs of Mt. Chokai, the active volcano on the Yamagata–Akita prefectural border and one of the Tohoku region’s highest mountains. Sixty-nine photographs form the core of the volume, accompanied by comments on the climbs from Daniel H. Wieczorek and Kazuya. The book records mountain views shaped by its proximity to the Sea of Japan, including the mountain’s shadow cast across the water on a clear morning. Framed as the second installment in a series on Japan’s 100 Famous Mountains, it offers a focused visual record of one peak rather than a broad survey of Japanese mountain landscapes.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photographers interested in Japanese landscape and mountain imagery
  • Armchair travelers exploring the Tohoku region of Japan
  • Hikers and mountain enthusiasts interested in Mt. Chokai

Book overview

Not everyone climbs mountains and not everyone can capture the experience with stunning photographs. Daniel and Kazuya, however, have done just that! Join them on the northern border of Yamagata and the southern border of Akita Prefectures, Japan and view through their camera's eye their climbs of this still active volcano (most recent eruption - 1974) and second highest mountain in the Tohoku Region of Japan in unique photos. No matter where you are in the world you'll savor this one-of-a-kind armchair adventure. On a clear morning the shadow of this mountain can be seen on the Sea of Japan, only a few kilometers to the west; Daniel and Kazuya were fortunate enough to witness this phenomenon and you too will see it in photos. You're sure to find a favorite among their sixty-nine photographs and enjoy reading their accompanying informative comments on each of their climbs here.
