Pomegranate Hokusai Keepsake Boxed Notecards- Boxed Cards

Breaking from tradition, Hokusai would sometimes outline the keyblock with blue ink rather than black—just one example of the many ways the now renowned artist broke new ground in the field of ukiyo-e, or “pictures of the floating world.” Enjoy the details of each cresting and frothing wave as they swallow the far-off peak of Mount Fuji on the cover of this keepsake box. Inside you’ll find three additional Hokusai prints focusing on flora and fauna, representing the distillation of nature in a precise moment. Contains five each of the following notecards: Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known asThe Great Wave, c. 1830–1832; Chrysanthemums and Bee, c. 1831–1833; Grasshopper and Iris, late 1820s; Lilies, c. 1833–1834.
