Description

Masterpieces from Japan and abroad are reproduced in their original size. The editors have carefully selected masterpieces from collections in Japan and abroad that are currently considered to be the "most beautiful prints" of the 46 prints of the Eijudo edition of "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (1831-35), limited to 1,000 copies. The essence of Hokusai's art is reproduced in its original size. Using the know-how gained from over 40 years of publishing art books, Shogakukan has specially developed "Shogakukan Ukiyo-e Paper" to reproduce the texture of ukiyo-e. Achieves high quality that is hard to believe is printed. Includes 12 proof prints, which are one-color prints for color specification, and are highly valued by enthusiasts because they were consumed during production and are extremely rare. Take a look behind the scenes of Hokusai's art. All 102 drawings from the three-volume sketch collection "One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji," in which Hokusai pursued the ingenuity of concept and composition with his insatiable creative drive in his final years, are included in this book, which has never been shown in an art book before, and has been photographed in full size. The supervisor, Nagata Seiji (director of the Katsushika Hokusai Museum), has written a new manuscript (main text and explanation of the works) based on the latest research findings. Limited to 1,000 copies, each with a serial number.
