The story and details
The story: Prints like this were made to be pasted onto uchiwa, the flat round fans used all summer in Edo — so most were used until they wore out, and few survive. Hokusai fits the bird into the curve of the fan, its wings following the edge, the waves a single sweep of blue below.
Details: Glossy black ceramic · 11 oz · the picture printed on both sides with the artist’s name beneath · dishwasher-safe (top rack) and microwave-safe · lead- and BPA-free.
