Katsushika Hokusai is one of Japan's leading ukiyo-e artists. His bold and innovative ideas and style of painting have had a great influence on painters and artists not only in Japan but also in Europe and around the world. 2020 is the 260th anniversary of Katsushika Hokusai's birth, and various events are being planned, and interest is growing both at home and abroad.

"Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji", which was appointed for the package design this time, is a series of landscape paintings depicting Mt. Fuji in various scenes. The package design also has a chic color scheme that makes Hokusai's paintings stand out.

On the other hand, the three types of "Hokusai Manga" are pop designs that match the unique depiction of "Hokusai Manga". Hokusai Manga is a work that can be said to be the originator of Japanese manga culture, and is said to have had a great influence on French Impressionist painters such as Manet and Monet.
