-About-

At the age of seventy, with a career of over 50 years experience making traditional woodblock prints, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), undertook making his now-famous series “Thirty Six Views of Mount Fuji”, honoring the most spiritual and sacred mountain in all Japan. The traditional technique he used was most common at the time, ukiyo-e, literally meaning “pictures of the floating world”.

“Koshu Kajikazawa”, is the name of a place between Tokyo and Kyoto where two rivers meet, the 14th print of the series, which we the viewer have the pleasure of seeing through Hokusai’s eyes.

In this masterpiece, the fisherman’s pose intentionally reflects the shape of Mount Fuji in the background, an example of Hokusai’s “signature” compositional genius, no doubt contributing to Hokusai becoming the most renown and respected Japanese artist of all time.

We have been been given official permission to use this extraordinary woodblock print from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York , to which Pagong has implemented the dye technique of Kyoto Yuzen.
