Early work of Hiroto Norikane from the Fugu fish lantern series: ふぐちょうちん (提灯) Fugu chochin - Fugu fish lantern 1978, huge print 71 x57 cm, mixed media, mezzotint/copperplate etching and woodblock printed, with pigments applied.

Printed on thick, laid paper. Artist's red hanko seal and signature. Dated indecipherable, either 1978 or 1988 (The Fugu Fishe series is from the 70-80ies)

"Fugu" (pufferfish) has been known for the deadly tetrodotoxin. It is up to 1,200 times more poisonous than cyanide. There is enough toxin in one pufferfish to kill 30 adult humans, and there is no known antidote.
Despite this fact, some pufferfish, especially wild "tora-fugu", is considered an expensive delicacy. It has to be prepared only by trained, licensed "fugu" chefs. Its skin, liver and some internal organs are carefully removed in order not to contaminate the flesh. Many deaths occur annually by eating badly prepared "fugu" dish but apparently the reputation for the "deadly delicacy" is only fueling the popularity of consumption of this fish.

The artist is most known for his cats series. Landscapes, cats and fugu fish were his main subjects. Highly appreciated among collectors especially for his printing techniques, zinc/copperplate etching providing a much crisp and clear line. The ink and pigments used in this early print were very thick, one can feel the paint with one's fingers.

Shipping insured and express by UPS/DPD/FedEx, reaching anywhere in US and Europe in 3-6 days.

Condition: the print was framed with a thick wooden frame for many years which resulted in foxing on the edges that were in contact with the wood. But the image itself has no damage. Any damage can be seen in photos..

Mention: the print takes a completely different life if looked at in the light (from the back). The colors are more vibrant and the background textures can be seen. The image is very crisp.

Enjoy this exquisite print!

Comfortable and Supportive, but Adjust the Filling
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2), Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I’m very happy with this pillow. The size is big and it feels soft while still providing good support, perfect for midnight scrolling on TikTok. One thing to keep in mind is that it can feel a little too tall if you use all of the filling that comes with it. The good news is that you can easily adjust the amount of filling to find the height that works best for your sleeping position. Once I customized it, it was much more comfortable. Overall, great quality, comfortable, and worth the purchase.

BEST PILLOWS EVER!!!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I am very picky with my pillows because I have a bad neck and I can never seem to find a good pillow. But I tried this pillow because it had everything I was looking for and the price was great! You get two of them and they are absolutely awesome.! normally I would need to lay on two pillows to try and get comfortable but with these pillows I just lay on one and I wake up with no neck pain. They really have a nice cooling effect. They actually puff up immediately after opening them. All you have to do is just shake them up and the pillow just puffs straight up.. It comes with extra cushioning if you want it to make it firmer and if you don’t want it as firm as it is, you can actually take some out. It really is such a beautiful pillow. It’s perfect in every way to me being such a picky pillow person. You just lay your head down on it and it forms around your neck and your head and when you get up, it goes right back to its normal form. It doesn’t get flat and I love it. I completely recommend this to anyone who is a person who has a hard time finding a really good pillow.

Top of the line, best pillows Ive ever had
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
These pillows are top of the line! I bought them in 2024 and they are still fluffy. When they lose a little fluff, you just punch em around a little bit and voila, like new again. They have kept their shape cery well and do great for cooling. I haven't had to add more filling yet either. I just laid my head on one and thought, I need to do a review cause everytime i lay on these pillows its like clouds. My head is heavy and this is relief :-D

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.
