Shunga / Kinbaku / Hokusai
This is the final print in this Shunga series. The shape of Mount Fuji can be seen in the ropes used to play this Kinbaku / shibari game. The mountain can also be seen in the carved wooden open work panel (Ranma) above the door leading into the next room. In the tokonoma (alcove), there is a very small painted copy of a self-portrait by Katsushika Hokusai, the artist that created the original “36 Views of Mount Fuji” Ukiyo-e series during the Edo period.

This beautiful limited edition of 50 copies in each size is printed on 230 gsm high quality matte paper. Each numbered print is signed by the artist and stamped on the back with the artist’s personal red seal (hanko). A hanko is hand carved and unique and therefore assures the prints authenticity.
