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.

- Good Fortune Gold leaf Framed art - Dragon over Mt. Fuji
- A special piece inspired by “Dragon over Mt. Fuji” (Fujikoshi Ryūzu), believed to be the final hand-painted ukiyo-e work of Katsushika Hokusai. In the background sky, slender strips of gold and silver leaf are meticulously laid to create a shimmering surface. The subtle gradation of light and shade evokes a sense of motion, echoing the traditional spatial techniques once favored by the Rimpa school painters. At the center, Mt. Fuji is expressed with a scattering of Kanazawa gold leaf and silver metallic powder, capturing the ever-changing appearance of the mountain across time and seasons. The snow at the peak is rendered densely, while the base is more delicately finished—an exquisite touch that reveals the mastery of the artisans and breathes life into nature itself.
- Depth Created by Modern Materials and Traditional Techniques
- The foreground clouds and auspicious motifs are adorned with a softly rounded texture, enhanced by sprinkling metallic powders in harmony with the brilliance of gold leaf. This gentle, “fukufuku” expression technique is also the origin of the series name Fukufuku Foil. Even in the unseen details—such as the reverse side of the work—gold leaf is carefully applied, reflecting the uncompromising craftsmanship behind each piece. Multiple layers combined with the radiance of the leaf create both depth and presence, allowing the artwork to reveal diverse expressions as the light shifts from different angles.
