The comb, which Hokusai envisioned in his original design, has been successfully realized for the first time in silver using modern jewelry craftsmanship. The exhibition will be held at the Museum of Mulhouse in Alsace, France from November 18, 2012.
The only Japanese selected by the American photo journal LIFE in its 1998 survey of the “Most Important People of the Past 1,000 Years” as one of the top 100. That is Hokusai Katsushika.
Hokusai is a giant of beauty who is ranked alongside Leonardo da Vinci in the world.
He had a great influence on Impressionists such as Manet, Monet, Van Gogh, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, Lautrec, and Mucha, and left a significant mark on the history of modern art.
The International Hokusai Society (hereafter referred to as “the Society”) and the Kofu Jewelry Association (hereafter referred to as “the Association”) drew on their respective knowledge and experience in creating this piece to realize Hokusai’s vision. From the selection of the design to its completion, this joint project took approximately six months (from May to October 2022).
The three parties worked in unison to bring the project to completion by fully demonstrating their respective strengths: the Society communicated the meaning and ideas behind Hokusai’s design, the Association created an environment in which craftspeople could maximize their skills, and the craftspeople made full use of their skills.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
