• Capturing the beauty of the original artwork

  Every one of our prints is made using the Giclee printing process, for a museum-quality look and feel that does justice to the original art.

  Giclee printing is the gold-standard for preserving the meticulous detail and stunning colors that we love in the Japanese masters. All our prints are fade and fingerprint resistant, so you can enjoy their beauty for years to come.

  We chose to offer 12”x18” (30cm x 45cm) as this was closest to the “chuban” size sheets used for woodblock prints historically.

  All of our prints come with matte finish for a more authentic appearance.

  Framing Options:
  

  • Unframed
  • Framed - black
  • Canvas wrap

  Ready-to-Hang and Made to Last

  Mounting brackets are included and centered on our framed prints and canvas wraps.

  All of our prints are made to last, with fade-resistant colors and materials. See how they arrive in the unboxing videos below.

• About the Art

  Katsushika Hokusai's Lake Suwa in Shinona Province is one of the artistic woodblock prints from his well-known series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. This woodblock print comprises an amazing view of a tranquil lake that directs the eyes of the spectators towards the distant Mount Fuji covered with white snow. This print is so amazingly tinted with blue color which is called ''aizuri-e'' meaning blue picture.

  Hokusai so subtly painted this woodblock print encompassing a massive area. In the isle, the identical pine trees are painted exquisitely with the thatched hut which creates an amazing view in the foreground of the scenario. A fisherman is navigating his small boat on the motionless and enormous lake expressing the magnanimity of the lake. Hokusai also painted Takashima Castle, which belonged to the Suwa daimyo, or feudal lord just in front of Fuji. The distant view of snow-covered Mount Fuji just behind the Takashima Castle in green tint contributes an enchanting sight.

  The beautiful panoramic view of the lake Suwa is tinted so dazzlingly retaining large pine trees in the foreground, a small boat on the calm water, Takashima Castle at the left side on a peninsula, the Fuji on the horizon with a conspicuous composition with attractive color and detail.
