Hokusai Edo Rice (Pack of 4)
Vacuum-packed rice with ukiyo-e printing
Even before the West recognized him, the woodblock print painter Katsushika Hokusai was popular enough in Edo (old Tokyo) for every new set of his paintings to become a bestseller. But if you were to choose one of his series as the more representative and popular, it would have to be the 36 Views of Mount Fuji that features his two most characteristic works: the Great Wave Off Kanagawa and Fine Wind, Clear Morning (Red Fuji). Both of which are featured on the packaging of the Hokusai Edo Rice!
What makes the whole thing deliciously Japanese (in the most literal sense) is that the Hokusai Edo Rice uses ukiyo-e art to pack white rice, the first and last word in any Japanese menu. Each of the four packs in this set contains 300 grams (10.6 ounces) of high-quality Japanese rice, vacuum-sealed to last longer. Whether you want to open the packages and cook the rice or just keep them as they are to enjoy Hokusai's vividly rendered images of Mount Fuji is up to you!
