Hibi-ku

Hokusai’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, in the palm of your hand. ■ Touch and feel Hokusai’s world Trace the image with your finger and discover the details that reward a closer look: the ridgeline of Mount Fuji, the soft gradations of the sky, the bold composition, and the texture of the washi paper. Rather than viewing the work in a catalog or through museum glass, you can experience it up close with your own fingertip. The iPhone’s finely tuned haptics respond with a subtle pulse beneath your finger. It is a little different from simply looking. You touch the passion the artist poured into the work and feel it resonate. When that resonance reaches its peak, a crack runs across the screen, and the print shatters. It may surprise you the first time, but nothing beyond the image is broken. The shattered print then joins your Remembered Prints. ■ Collect all 46 views Every print added to your Remembered Prints can be enlarged beyond its original size, allowing you to linger over details you might otherwise never notice. The pattern left by each shattering is preserved in your Remembered Cracks. Even with the same print, no two cracks are ever alike. Collect them all to complete the full set of 46, including the ten Ura-Fuji views. Among them are Hokusai’s best-known work, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, and South Wind, Clear Sky, also known as Red Fuji. The images come from the public-domain collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago and are available under CC0. You are free to screenshot your favorite views and use them however you like, whether on social media, as wallpaper, or elsewhere. ■ Five prints for free The first five prints are free, including Storm below Mount Fuji, also known as Black Fuji. You can search for the details and zoom in as many times as you like. All 46 prints can be unlocked with a single in-app purchase. Note: Hibi-ku is available for iPhone only and is best enjoyed on a model that supports haptics.
