Mt. Fuji Illustrated Scrolls : Artbook

The Mount Fuji Illustrated Scrolls Quartet is a series of hanging scroll paintings created using

traditional Japanese techniques.

The technique consists of outlining in ink and then applying vivid colors in Japanese pigments. The

work is then overlaid with a mist called "suyari-kasumi," unique to Japanese painting, in gold ink.

While this is a traditional Japanese painting technique, the colors are very pop and unusual for a

Japanese painting.

This book contains legends related to the scenes and characters that appear in the four scrolls, so that they can be understood even without explanations. It also includes English translations for an international audience.
