<\/p>\n
Do you recognize these?
\nThese products are decorated with the colorful vibrant style of world renowned artist Koji Kinutani. His work is on display in Osaka at the Koji Kinutani Tenku Art Museum, and for a limited time we have a selection of goods from the museum gift shop.<\/p>\n
\u25a0Powerful images of Japan from Koji Kinutani<\/h2>\n
Koji Kinutani was born in Nara, studied in Italy, and cultivated fresco painting (an ancient mural technique). His artwork is appealing due to its colorful, vivid, and extraordinarily unique nature, which combines Japanese aesthetics with Western-style painting like fresco.\u00a0His works include various themes from Japanese culture like Mt. Fuji and the Seven Gods of Fortune.<\/p>\n
For reference, here\u2019s a look at Mt. Fuji.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kinutani-koji-online-shop-img01.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s tallest mountain with an altitude of 3776.12 m.
\nMt. Fuji has been worshipped by the Japanese since ancient times and is the subject of countless artworks.
\nIt became a registered World Heritage Site in 2013.<\/p>\n
And here are the Seven Gods of Fortune.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Japanese culture actually recognizes a number of deities, but the Seven Gods of Fortune are noted for being particularly lucky. Their plump figures are so incredibly cute!<\/p>\n
This is how Mt. Fuji and the Seven Gods of Good Fortune are depicted in Koji Kinutani\u2019s artwork!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
You might be thinking, why is Mt. Fuji red!?\u00a0Apparently at certain times in summer and fall, the morning light falls on Mt. Fuji giving it a red hue. And when this happens it is considered a good luck omen.\u00a0It\u2019s a very special time to see the volcano.
\nYou may have also noticed that the Seven Gods of Good Fortune are on jet skis. Koji Kinutani\u2019s artwork always leaves a strong impression.
\nThese two pieces have been turned into original notebooks.<\/p>\n
