Japanese stationery brand Shachihata is hosting an interactive stamp rally inside "Hokusai: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" at Dulwich Picture Gallery, an exhibition celebrating Katsushika Hokusai that opened on the evening of Monday 19 October.
The rally is listed among the highlights for visitors to the show. It draws on Hokusai's woodblock print "The Great Wave off Kanagawa", one of the artist's defining images, and adds a participatory stationery element to the exhibition visit. Chantelle White, manager of the London International Stationery Show, and Shunyan Ho, UK and Ireland business development manager for Shachihata EU, were among the first to take part as the gallery received its opening visitors.
Ho said she had worked directly with the museum team on the project and was pleased to see it brought to life at the exhibition. Visitors on the Monday evening enjoyed the experience, she said, and the stamped result makes a keepsake that people can take home. According to Ho, this is the first time Shachihata has hosted a stamp rally within a museum exhibition in the UK.
For Shachihata, a Japanese company, contributing to a project that celebrates Japan's artistic heritage gives the collaboration particular significance.
