Dulwich Picture Gallery has opened Hokusai: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, an exhibition celebrating Katsushika Hokusai, and is offering visitors an interactive stamp rally hosted by Japanese stationery brand Shachihata. The exhibition opened on the evening of 19 October, and the stamp rally is one of the visitor highlights.
The activity takes inspiration from Hokusai's woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. It gives exhibition visitors a participatory stationery element alongside the display of the artist's work. Shachihata described the rally as a keepsake that visitors can take home.
Chantelle White, manager of the London International Stationery Show, and Shunyan Ho, UK and Ireland business development manager at Shachihata EU, were among the first people to take part as the gallery welcomed its opening visitors. Ho said he had worked directly with the museum team on the project and welcomed seeing it come to life at the exhibition. He added that visitors on Monday evening enjoyed the experience and that it was the first time Shachihata had hosted a stamp rally within a museum exhibition in the UK.
Shachihata said the collaboration is particularly meaningful for the Japanese brand because it forms part of a project celebrating Japan's artistic heritage. The exhibition remains open at Dulwich Picture Gallery until 17 January 2027.
