Hokusai Wave Matchbox

This image was part of Katsushika Hokusai's series Thirty - Using a western perspective to represent both depth & volume. The artist's obsession with the Mount Fuji and natural scenes can be attributed to a popular folktale that suggests that the elixir of life could be found at the mountain's summit. These vibrant matches are perfect for lighting deep candles, decorating a space or giving as a gift!
