"Fugaku Shokei" - Miniature Mount Fuji Landscapes in Confectionery Form
Katanukiya, a specialty confectionery shop in Tokyo's Ginza district, has launched a new product line called "Fugaku Shokei" (Small Fuji Landscapes). Based on Hokusai's famous "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji," these confections feature reproductions of the artwork with carefully adjusted colors and compositions to suit the confectionery format. Using ultra-high-definition food printing technology, even the delicate color gradations that Hokusai sought to capture have been faithfully reproduced on these sweets.
The name "Fugaku Shokei" combines references to Hokusai's "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fugaku Sanjurokkei) with "shokei" meaning "a memorable small scene," representing the Mount Fuji landscapes reflected in these small confections.
Featured Designs - Die-Cut Baumkuchen
The die-cut baumkuchen features three iconic works:
- The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa-oki Nami-ura)

- Fuji from Bishu Fujimigahara (Bishū Fujimigahara)
About the die-cut baumkuchen: This confection features a flat-baked baumkuchen with a white pound cake layer made from egg whites on the surface, topped with printed artwork. The design includes die-cut perforations that allow customers to punch out the pattern along the lines, offering both delicious taste and an interactive experience with this new style of baumkuchen.

About the baton macaron: Inspired by classic macarons, these "macaron rusks" feature a crispy texture. Baked in a stick shape to create a flat surface, they beautifully showcase the printed artwork. This new style of macaron confection combines elegant design with a light, delicate flavor.
