Contemporary Mount Fuji Illustrated with Edo Techniques

This is a set of five woodblock prints capturing the seasonal beauty of Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan, depicted with a modern design that inherits the lineage of the Rimpa school. The woodblock print, featuring Mount Fuji as a symbol of good fortune, incorporates four traditional techniques, showcasing master craftsmanship within its elegantly simplified, two-dimensional composition.
The traditional Edo Moku-hanga is crafted through a division of labor among the eshi (painter), horishi (carver), and surishi (printer). It is often said, “The carver shapes, and the printer brings the artwork to life.” This time, the intentions of the designer, who in this case is the painter, are expressed through the skill of the printer. Enjoy the flexibility of adorning your surroundings with our original frames to suit your mood or the season.
A special technique of traditional woodblock printing, inherited from the Edo period, is beautifully fused with contemporary graphics. This is a masterpiece that allows you to touch, see, and feel the joy of discovering the authentic craftsmanship of Edo Moku-hanga for yourself.
