The Origin of the 37th View
Katsushika Hokusai's iconic series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, captured the beauty and spirit of Japan through diverse perspectives, seasons, and expressions, inspiring the global movement known as Japonisme.
We believe there is a new 37th View - one that symbolizes novel and exciting possibilities.
