Dulwich Picture Gallery has opened Hokusai: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji with an interactive stamp rally hosted by Japanese stationery brand Shachihata. The exhibition opened on Monday, 19 October, and is scheduled to run until 17 January 2027. It celebrates the work of Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's most influential artists.
The stamp rally is inspired by Hokusai's woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Visitors can take part in the activity as part of the exhibition experience, with the activity offering a keepsake to take home.
Chantelle White, manager of the London International Stationery Show, and Shunyan Ho, UK and Ireland business development manager at Shachihata EU, were among the first to take part as the exhibition welcomed its first visitors. Ho said he had worked directly with the museum team on the project and was pleased to see it realised. He added that visitors on Monday evening enjoyed the experience and that it offered a keepsake to take home.
According to Ho, this is the first time Shachihata has hosted a stamp rally within a museum exhibition in the UK. He described the evening as enjoyable. For the Japanese brand, contributing to a project that celebrates Japan's artistic heritage makes the collaboration particularly special.
