Postcard type: Three Views of Suruga - Mariko no Ki | Naked Black Illustrations and Illustrated Guide

[Naked Black - Bare Black]
This is an adaptation of a treasured work from Utagawa Hiroshige's "Original Text." The lacquer and gold leaf imprint removes unnecessary shine and creates a bare, jet-black finish that absorbs light. The silent black (night), the Three Views of Suruga, Mariko Inn, gold leaf, scarlet, cherry blossoms at night, and the swaying of the Mariko tree all create a work that allows you to quietly appreciate the atmosphere. Even in postcard size, it's enjoyable.

[Tips for viewing] The surface of the artwork is not covered with a protective film such as glass or acrylic. We recommend that you view the artwork in its bare, uncovered state.

By eliminating the reflection of light caused by the protective film, the "silence of the night" of Naked Black and the "energy" emanating from the swaying trees can be felt directly and unobstructed.

Naked Black's tastes
Bare black--
The Art of "Naked Black"

This "silent black" absorbs light and brings about silence.
The following "tips and tricks" will help you understand the depths of this.

・Take it out of the bag and confront it naked
View it out of the sleeve.
(By erasing the reflection, silent darkness appears.)

- Do not touch the surface as it dislikes oils from your fingers
Do not touch the surface.
(Sebum will make the darkness cloudy. Hold the edges gently.)

- Avoid UV rays and view in a slightly dark place
Keep away from sunlight.
(The more the light is reduced, the more the balance between the silent black and the lacquer design stands out.)

[ Reading the Spiritual Image and Spiritual Mood ]

Was it the wind or love that stopped the traveler in his tracks?
Reading the "spirit" of the trees, he feels "conflict and longing" as a traveler. His work, "Mariko no Ki," is an adaptation of this mental imagery superimposed on the original work by Utagawa Hiroshige.

[About product photos] In order to prevent unauthorized reproduction of the design and to convey the "naked black" that can never be reproduced through digital processing, the photos have been left unadjusted and recorded at an angle.

The "silence of the night" that Naked Black embodies cannot be fully captured on a two-dimensional screen. Its depth, which cannot be fully conveyed in a photograph, only becomes apparent when you see it in your hands.
