【Red Fuji – Painted with the Traditional “Moriage” Gold Leaf Technique】

This artwork is created using an adapted form of the Moriage technique, which traces its origins back to the Momoyama period (late 16th century). Multiple varieties of Kanazawa gold leaf are layered and painted to achieve a surface rich in depth and texture. The colors shift subtly depending on the angle and the way light strikes the surface—an effect possible only with genuine Kanazawa gold leaf. At the center of the composition shines the majestic form of Red Fuji, glowing with divine brilliance. In Japan, Red Fuji is said to be so rare that “to see it even once in a lifetime is a blessing.” For centuries, it has been cherished as an auspicious symbol of success, prosperity, and good fortune. By combining this mystical motif with the radiant glow of gold leaf, the work conveys both elegance and powerful presence. This piece makes a distinguished gift for milestone celebrations such as longevity anniversaries, or as a prestigious presentation between organizations and companies.

Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art A contemporary art series that reinterprets auspicious motifs from traditional ukiyo-e through the brilliance of Kanazawa gold leaf. The themes are three iconic works by the renowned ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai: Red Fuji, Cranes and Mt. Fuji, and Dragon Rising over Mt. Fuji. Each piece inherits the symbolism and stories of these auspicious images, while Hakukichi’s craftsmanship adds a new radiance. We present this series as modern lucky art, bringing “good fortune” into everyday life. Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art - Dragon over Mt. Fuji This piece is inspired by “Dragon over Mt. Fuji” (Fujikoshi Ryūzu), believed to be the final work of the ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai. In Japanese tradition, Mt. Fuji (Fuji = “not” + “time”) and the dragon (Ryū = “to cut off”) together symbolize a wish to “cut off misfortune.” Furthermore, in feng shui, the image of a rising dragon is regarded as a powerful motif that enhances all forms of good fortune. Ukiyo-e Beauty Reimagined for Modern Interiors Ukiyo-e, a popular art form among the common people of the Edo period, often featured Mt. Fuji—the greatest symbol of good fortune in Japan. This series reinterprets Mt. Fuji as depicted by Japan’s celebrated ukiyo-e master, Katsushika Hokusai. Through the brilliant hues of Kanazawa gold leaf and the refined skills of artisans, each piece becomes a unique work of contemporary art unlike any other. Depth Born from Modern Materials and Traditional Techniques Each Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art fuses modern materials with traditional Kanazawa gold leaf techniques. Acrylic layers form the composition, dividing the motifs into sky, Mt. Fuji, and clouds. This three-layer structure creates a sense of depth, transforming the flat beauty of ukiyo-e into a dynamic, dimensional expression. Compact and lightweight, the panels are easy to display, even for women or elderly people. They bring “good fortune” into daily life, whether placed in a guest room to welcome visitors or in a living room for the family to enjoy together. With auspicious motifs and refined craftsmanship, these art panels also make cherished gifts for special occasions such as longevity celebrations, commemorations, or as unique souvenirs from Japan. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) A master ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. He studied under Katsukawa Shunshō, producing actor portraits, bijin-ga (images of beauties), and illustrations. Over time, he absorbed a wide range of influences including the Kanō, Tosa, and Rimpa schools, as well as Chinese and Western painting techniques. Through his dynamic compositions and vigorous brushwork, he developed a uniquely powerful style that later influenced French Impressionists. His most celebrated works include Hokusai Manga, Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji, and One Thousand Pictures of the Sea. Learn More
