The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Sunway Resort Hotel are offering a ‘Lunar Masterpiece’ gift box inspired by the legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai.
The luxury hotel’s limited edition Lunar Masterpiece gift box features a reimagining of Katsushika Hokusai’s renowned woodblock print, “Lilies,” a piece from his untitled series known as Large Flowers. Sunway Resort Hotel lays claim to being the most luxurious resort hotel in Kuala Lumpur,
Running from Aug.16 to Sept. 17, 2024, the “Lunar Masterpiece” collection showcases the iconic work of Hokusai, one of Japan’s most influential artists.
Hokusai (1760–1849) remains a seminal figure in the Japonisme movement, which significantly influenced European art in the late 19th century. His woodblock prints have permeated various art forms and popular culture, from fine art to modern media. He is best known for the world famous woodblock print “The Great Wave,” which remains one of the most popular artworks in the world today.
The “Lunar Masterpiece” collection draws inspiration from Hokusai’s work “Lilies,” known for its simple yet vivid portrayal of flowers native to Japan. The print’s minimalist composition and striking color palette create a powerful image, reflecting Hokusai’s revolutionary approach to printmaking that combined traditional Japanese techniques with Western influences. His innovative work left a lasting impact on global art, revolutionizing the art of printmaking in Japan and around the world.
Visitors to Sunway Resort Hotel can explore this exclusive mid-autumn offering at a dedicated booth in the hotel’s lobby. The collaboration merges Hokusai’s timeless artistry with the festival’s celebratory spirit, creating a distinctive gift for the holiday.
