Dulwich Picture Gallery has added an interactive stamp rally to its exhibition Hokusai: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, with Japanese stationery brand Shachihata hosting the activity. The exhibition opened on the evening of Monday 19 October and celebrates the work of Katsushika Hokusai.
The stamp rally is inspired by Hokusai’s woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa and is one of the exhibition’s highlights for visitors. Visitors can take part in the activity within the exhibition, and the resulting stamped sheet serves as a keepsake. 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 try it as the gallery welcomed visitors.
Shunyan Ho said she had worked directly with the museum team on the project and was pleased to see it realised in the exhibition. She said visitors on Monday evening enjoyed the experience and that the stamp rally was the first Shachihata had hosted within a museum exhibition in the UK.
For Shachihata, taking part in a project that celebrates Japan’s artistic heritage makes the collaboration particularly special. The exhibition remains open at Dulwich Picture Gallery until 17 January 2027.
