Mount Fuji sacred mountain, highest point of Japan, is represented from every angle, at any time of day and night, in all seasons and all weathers, in close-up or as a distant detail but always present, a pretext to describe the beauty of nature and its relationship with man. On Mount Fuji and Wave, the mountain seems far away between the huge waves that have made Hokusai famous, but illuminated by the bright orange reflections of dawn or dusk, it does keep an undeniable presence. It is said that for Debussy, this print was his greatest source of inspiration to compose La Mer.
The shiny black of the lacquer, along with the overflowing vibrancy from each work makes it a sight to behold.

Technique: Hira Maki-e. The hira maki-e technique, which dates from the latter part of the Heian period (794–1185), was preceded by togidashi maki-e, a technique in which not only the design but the whole surface is covered with clear lacquer after the sprinkling of metal powder; the lacquer is then polished down to reveal the design.
Ultimate decorative beauty: Maki-e fountain pens using the traditional lacquer work of "Maki-e". The fine designs by the craftsmen are indeed the crystals of Japanese beauty.
Japanese lacquer: Lacquer is an excellent varnish which has been used in Japan since ancient times. Not only does it possess strong and durable qualities, the more it is used, the more gracefully it fits into your hand while retaining its beautiful charm.
