Wood Postcards” and four types of “PENON Touch Me! Art Magnets” feature realistic textures created using PENON’s proprietary printing technology on the “Book of Hours of the Boucicaut Painter,” an illuminated manuscript produced in France around 1412 and owned by the Furukawa Art Museum (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture).

circulation through recycling. We offer a new type of art goods with a three-dimensional feel, featuring realistic textures created using our proprietary printing technology. Furukawa Museum of Art Original Art Goods “The Book of Hours of a Boucicaut Painter,” a representative work from the Furukawa Museum of Art’s collection, will be on special exhibition during the Furukawa Museum of Art’s exhibition “Fujimori Kaneaki: The Radiance of Prayer” (October 25 (Sat) – December 21 (Sun), 2025). Both the postcards and magnets feature three-dimensional reliefs of the sacred figures, animals, and natural motifs depicted on the frontispiece, which depict episodes related to the Virgin Mary, as well as the gorgeous decorations that surround them. Furthermore, to highlight the beauty of the “blue” that symbolizes the Virgin Mary, the color was adjusted in consultation with the museum, closely recreating the allure of the original. We hope you will enjoy the delicate and gorgeous world of this manuscript. ■ “Annunciation” from “The Book of Hours of the Boucicaut Painter” “The Annunciation” depicts the mystical scene in which the Archangel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary the birth of the Savior. The angel’s shining golden wings, the symbolic lily flower, and Mary’s serene expression are recreated in three dimensions by adding subtle textures. The gorgeous decorative pattern in the background is also undulated to create a sense of depth. This special item allows you to experience a medieval microcosm capturing a sacred moment in the palm of your hand. Image
