A bridge in Kyoto: In the middle of the night, John meets a mysterious old printmaker, Katsushika Hokusai, and a world-famous musician, Ichi. An intriguing confrontation with the past begins. John is struggling with the shame of choices made twenty years ago. Ichi wants to find out where she comes from. It's a story about guilt, love and betrayal. A quest for the truth.
The Floating World is a place where we try to forget the transience of life by indulging in amusement and pleasure. It's an imaginary world where we pretend to be something we're not, caught in constant conflict between a longing for authenticity and a longing to be seen and heard, to be special.
Fujisan (Japanese for Mount Fuji) is the first in a series of five stories from the Floating World. A journey through time, back to our origins, to discover what makes us who we are.
Kawamura is the pseudonym of a Dutch author. In Fujisan, Kawamura has created a magical world based on the life and prints of the famous Japanese printmaker Katsushika Hokusai. And Hokusai himself plays a leading role...
