The timeless red Mt.Fuji

An Edo woodblock print with vibrant tones, made by a suri-shi master, who transfers colors repeatedly on soft Japanese paper using techniques that have not changed since the Edo period. The magnificent Mt. Fuji dyed in red by the morning sun, a masterpiece of Katsushika Hokusai, is being handed down by artisans and gives us a lasting impression.
