HOKUSAI - Coffee Table Hardback Book With Leather Jacket, Personalized Gift

Description: Meet the artist whose majestic wave sent ripples across the world. Hokusai, master artist and printmaker, is not only one of the giants of Japanese art but a father figure to Western modernism, inspiring a whole new notion of space for artists from Monet to Morisot, Cassatt to Klimt. Spanning erotic books, historical novels, and album prints, this introduction traces the full scope of Hokusai’s far-reaching portfolio.To make the cover I use grade A, naturally tanned hide, I buy from a tannery in north Spain. It is the same leather Louis Vuitton uses to make his bags, so it is top quality. I do all the processing of the leather myself. First, I design the cover, and what I did here on the front I used Hokusai's most famous print, 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa', on the back another woodblock print by the artist. Next, I mix leather inks and screen them on the surface of the leather. The inks are partly absorbed by the skin to create a permanent bond. Finally, I coat the leather with protective solution. The leather gives the image a vintage look and beautiful texture, and it will age nicely with time. Inside the front cover. I can print a personal message or a quote from the book.It is a perfect Coffee Table book. Visually it has a very nice texture, it smells great, and the more you handle it the more beautiful it will become. And it makes a great gift for yourself, or somebody who appreciates books. So if you want one, don’t snooze, or you might lose.Book - HOKUSAI by Rhiannon PagetSize - 10.5 x 9 inches (27x 22.5 cm)Pages - 96Languages - You can have it either in English or Spanish.If you would like more information about this title, this is the original book's ISBN 978-3836563376If you are interested in a different title, send me a message and I will give you a quote.Returns: This is a custom-made item, so returns or exchanges are not accepted.
