Katsushika Hokusai Thirty-six Views of Mt.Fuji, Woodblock With a dedicated frame Description This print consists of three main elements with no superfluity: Mt. Fuji soaring high into the sky, a spacious wooded field at its foot, and the sky itself which occupies almost half of the entire composition. This is a wonderfully accurate representation of the complex aspects of nature, achieved with the minimum of lines and colors. Quality Ukiyo-e Reproductions by the Adachi Institute are created based on select works from world-famous Ukiyo-e collections. First, the carver carves the woodblocks, faithfully replicating the original. Mountain cherry tree is used for the woodblocks, and the carver carefully chisels a woodblock for each color used in the print. It is intricate and time-consuming work that requires delicate sensibilities. When the carving is completed, the printer takes the woodblocks made separately for each color and prints them one color at the time, in the same way as the original. The printer uses washi, or handmade Japanese paper, and water-based pigment inks, which are also exactly the same as the original. The printer prepares the colors, anticipating how they will appear when they are printed. A master printer has the highly sophisticated skills, patience and sense of color required to make several hundred almost perfectly uniform prints in one printing run. -Print Size (cm) 26.4 38.6 cm / Paper Echizen Kizuki Hosho Washimade by Living National Treasure, Ichibei Iwano / Explanation Japanese and English -Frame Size 40.0 x 55.5 cm / Weight about 1.8kg / Frame material wooden (lacquered) / Surface acrylic (UV cut 70%) 100% Guaranteed My goal is to make your experience with me as stressfree as possible.
