Since the Heian period, Mount Tateyama has been known as the “Mountain of Hell.” What kind of world is this “hell,” exactly? Alongside iconic Japanese depictions of hell, such as the “Six Realms” and “Ten Kings” paintings, we introduce the world of Mount Tateyama’s hell as depicted in the Tateyama Mandala. You might just discover a hell you never knew existed!
