Product introduction
The original work is not only Hokusai’s representative work, but a world famous ukiyoe, a picture of everyday life in the Edo period. The image is relived as a partition. In order to create a tone as close to the original work as possible, we mixed few dozen colored powdered glass, melted in kiln to see its color. This process alone takes a few months. More parts are created and fired in our electric kiln numerous times. Japan’s national treasure that is Hokusai’s perspective, expression and beauty sense are embodied by non-discoloring materials such as glass and forever shimmering gold and platinum to leave behind for next generations.
