This pen is inspired by two classic woodcuts by Japanese artist Hokusai. On the cap we see Sanka Hakuu, or “Shower Below the Summit” – the sacred Mount Fuji rising above storms brewing below. On the barrel is a scene from “Cushion Pine at Aoyama,” which is also part of Hokusai’s ‘Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji’. You can see a figure gesturing to the great mountain in the distance. This pen is an homage to this impressive feature of Japanese land and culture.
