【THE HOKUSAI PROJECT】
From Hokusai's birthplace,Sumida: helping today's artisans discover　new techniques for　Hokusai's expressions.
Hokusai produced works with roots in the Edo period　lifestyle:woodblock prints,"sensu" folding fans, "uchiwa" round fans,festival food stalls.
From Hokusai's birthplace,Sumida,together with today's artisans, we transcend time to discover new means of expression based on Hokusai's images. Based in Sumida, KUME Co.,Ltd. is at the forefront of Japan's T-shirt industry.

Hokusai drew spectral ghosts that are impossible to hate even with disheveled hair and exposed teeth. Drawn in an era when darkness surrounded people more closely than it does today, this image offers a glimpse of things that lurk in the dark--evoking both fear and curiosity. Two colors of lamé ink are mixed to produce subtly different gradations on each picture, setting off the ghostly group in a shining print.
This product on its left shows what is said to be close to his final work, a picture of a splendid dragon ascending over Fuji with dark clouds passing across. Near the picture is a stamped "百"[100].
Hokusai lived in recycling-oriented Edo, and his works remind us not to waste valuable resources, and to produce products that last. We use environmentally-friendly power to minimize CO2 emissions, and our t-shirts are sewn and printed with care by Japanese craftsmen and women.
