Published by Dutton in 1993 and in an expanded edition by Duke University Press in 2006, American academic and author Cathy Davidson’s memoir, 36 Views of Mount Fuji: On Finding Myself in Japan, documents Davidson's 1980 move to Japan, where she accepts a job teaching English at an all-female university. This is only the beginning of several travels to the country, a land whose culture and people capture the author's heart and imagination, her hopes and dreams, and, sometimes, her frustrations and her sense of humor. 36 Views of Mount Fuji is a travelogue of both the Japanese landscape and the interior journeys Davidson embarks upon as a result of her experiences there.
