21 Views From Mount Fuji:

A Poet’s Perspective on Bitcoin

“Little could I have also imagined that his thoughts would take me on a journey through snowy cityscapes to prehistoric basins, and to encounters with talking rabbits and mechanical detectives along the way.

I can’t wait for you to experience Bitcoin in the same way as Haiku Nakamoto.”

Experience Bitcoin through the art of haiku

Bitcoin

Bitcoin is the internet-based digital currency that is in the process of reshaping the world. In its short 15 years of existence, it has already created a unique culture around itself. Learn all about its lore, tropes, and ecosystem in this entertaining, non-technical discussion.
Haiku

Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry that captures the beauty of a moment in just three concise lines. In 21 Views From Mount Fuji, each haiku also serves as a window into the many aspects of Bitcoin’s interaction with the real world.
Commentaries

Each haiku is accompanied by a commentary that explores the poem’s deeper meanings in relation to Bitcoin, illuminating the cryptocurrency’s landscape in the process. The haiku themselves are the work of a mysterious Japanese poet…
The Poet

Of Bitcoin’s shadowy, pseudonymous creator, it is sometimes asked, “Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?” From now on, Bitcoiners may ask, “Who is Haiku Nakamoto?” Haiku Nakamoto is the pen name of a reclusive Japanese artist and poet who, amongst other locations, works in a secret teahouse studio on Mount Fuji. 21 Views is his personal response to the impact of discovering Bitcoin.
Genre and narrative

Crafted by the co-author Carl Andrews in close collaboration with H.Nakamoto, the commentaries fuse a range of literary types, including poetry, journal, and biography. The result is a genre-busting book that is not only a fascinating Bitcoin introduction for newcomers, but also an intriguing puzzle for aficionados that offers plenty of original insights.
An Eastern aesthetic

21 Views From Mount Fuji is a visual treat, with ukiyo-e woodblock-style illustrations in the manner of such famous Japanese artists as Hiroshige, and Hokusai and his legendary “36 Views of Mount Fuji“ series. The haiku and illustrations are also bordered with traditional Japanese patterns. Produced in association with Konsensus Network, the book is printed on 105 GSM white paper with premium colour ink.
