The Manggha Museum is going to exhibit for the first time a set of black-and-white sumizuri-e woodblock prints from the gift of a private collector and enthusiast of traditional Japanese art. In 2019, Ei Nakau, a connoisseur and promoter of majestic ukiyo-e compositions, decided to gift to our museum a set of three books containing the series of prints One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai.

It is a story of the journey an artwork makes before reaching an exhibition space, where it is admired with the same ecstatic delight that once shone in the collector’s eyes.
