&gt; There are 20 cases in all.  Perhaps the most famous case involves the<br/>
&gt; eastern slope of Mt. Fuji, which may be the only one discernable on non<br/>
&gt; Japanese source maps.  The boundary is between Yamanashi and Shizuoka<br/>
&gt; prefectures.  There is also the northern slope of Mt. Norikura, between<br/>
&gt; Nagano and Gifu, which has been resolved on 10/5/04.  Many of the others<br/>
&gt; involve mountainous areas, which seem odd given the presumed existance of<br/>
&gt; ridge lines and that these boundaries usually date back over a millenia.<br/>
&gt; There are also cases where land reclamation creates disputed land.<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; I am throwing this out here so that this will be in our archive.<br/>
