Tokyo National MuseumKatsushika Hokusai - Thirty-six Views of Mount FujiA5 Size (fits Cousin)

    This collaboration with the Tokyo National Museum comes on the 150th year of the founding of the museum.



    Nicknamed Tohaku, the Tokyo National Museum collects, preserves, researches, exhibits, and educates the public about cultural artifacts from across Asia, with a focus on Japan. Currently there are about 120,000 objects in its collection, including the print chosen for this Hobonichi Techo cover: Hokusai Katsushika’s Kajikazawa in Kai Province, part of his Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series.



    In 1830, when Hokusai turned 70 years old, he began work on the series, depicting Mt. Fuji from a number of vantage points. Despite the series’s name, there are actually 46 woodblock prints, including the famous The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Each one measures roughly 39 cm x 26 cm (15” x 10”).



    This print depicts Fuji River, which is located in Kajikazawa and known for its turbulent waters. In this print, a fisherman and his son appear to be pulling in fishing lines, battling against waves that crash against the rocks. Mt. Fuji is just visible behind a shroud of fog, outlined in shades of indigo.



    The techo cover’s glossy polyester material was chosen to best portray the print’s depiction of waves and splashing.







    The back of the cover depicts Hokusai’s seal, which he used to sign his work, as well as his handwritten title of the piece.







    The cover interior is a deep blue, and the striped pen-holders evoke the image of the fishermen’s net.



    Another print from the series, Rainstorm Beneath the Summit, is printed on the right-hand side of the cover’s interior pocket, this time in silver. Mt. Fuji is shown piercing through the clouds in the sky, with bolts of lightning on the bottom right.







    The left-hand side of the interior pockets features the logo of the Tokyo National Museum.







    A major part of the appeal of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji is Hokusai’s novel compositions. In this particular piece, you can see a hidden triangle shape, beginning at the top of the fisherman’s head and reaching down to the net on the bottom right and the outline of the rock on the bottom left.



    Spend your year with one of Hokusai's masterpieces and imagine the great outdoors once in a while as you open the cover. For more information about the art (Japanese only), you can purchase the book Katsushika Hokusai - Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.

    Please Read Before You Buy

    In order to provide you with the most satisfaction for your product, we've compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Please be sure to read this information carefully before placing your order.

    Actual specifications may vary from listing

    Each item is individually assembled and sewn by hand by a factory worker. Best efforts are made to ensure consistent sizes and specifications, but there may be slight differences.

    Color and print may vary slightly

    This material is first printed or dyed and then later sewn onto the cover. While colors are designed to be consistent, there may be uneven coloring or slight shade variances between covers. This may also happen across a single cover, such as a pocket compared to the rest of the cover. In addition, on rare occasions, there may be small black or white dots visible on the print. This is an unavoidable aspect of the manufacturing process.

    Cover may contain variations in stitching or loose lining

    Due to the structure of the cover that opens flat 180 degrees, exterior stitching areas may appear puckered and lining material may be loose.

    Pen holders are rigid at first

    The pen holders are rigid at first, making it difficult to insert pens. You can speed up the breaking-in process by rolling the pen holders in your hand.

    Pen holder fits pens up to 13.5 mm wide

    The pen holder is designed to perfectly fit the 12.2 mm (0.48”) diameter Jetstream pen offered as a free Hobonichi Store Exclusive. Pens with certain shapes and materials may be difficult to pull through the holder. The holder can fit pens up to 13.5 mm (0.53”) in diameter.

    Avoid storing in hot and humid places

    Please avoid storing your product in hot, humid places or placing it atop other objects for long periods of time as this may result in lower quality and color stains.
