Maestro Menegazzi's love for Japanize culture shines through in this touching tribute to Katsushika Hokusai (1760 – 1849), the premier Japanese artist and printmaker from the Edo period. Hokusai is best known for his woodblock print series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji', which included the iconic print, the 'Great Wave off Kanagawa', created during the 1820s and honored in Osvaldo's deck as the Fool card. This 2018 2nd edition of 22 cards was published in a small print of 250 decks. The large cards measure 3.5" x 7", have square corners and a matt finish. The deck number from the edition will be revealed on the title card after opening the sealed deck. The Box includes a one-page insert with a introduction to the deck.
