Pocket Journal (Hiroshige: Meguro) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the series of handy, luxurious Flame Tree pocket books. Combining high production quality with magnificent works of art, the covers are printed on foil in five colors, embossed, and then foil stamped. And they are wonderfully practical: with a pocket at the back for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. They are perfect for personal use, handbags, and make a dazzling gift. This example features one of Hiroshige's stunning views of Mount Fuji.

In this artwork, we see Mount Fuji viewed through the slopes of a small replica mountain. These mini-Fujis were quite a common feature as they allowed the devout-but-busy to at least approximate the great pilgrimage to Mount Fuji and gain some of the same spiritual benefits.

Original titles and a very wide range of authors are the image of the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
