In brief

1840: In Kanagawa, the great bay of Tokyo, the Master Hokusai decided to open a painting school to share his art with his disciples.

You are one of these disciples, and more than anything, you want to prove yourself worthy of the “crazy, old artist”. Follow his teachings to expand your studio and paint your preferred subjects (Trees, Animals, Characters, Buildings), all while paying attention to the changing of the seasons in order to make the most harmonious print - the one that will become the work of your lifetime!

Each player randomly draws a starting tile that provides you with a landscape you've already mastered (Forest, Mountain, Plain, or Ocean), two brush pawns, one movement, and a plains Print with a season.

Each round, the first player draws the same amount of Lesson Cards as there are players, and places them on the first row of the board. They are face up or face down based on how the mat tells you to lay them. The choice is then immediately made to either Broaden Your Knowledge (pass your turn and wait for more cards) or Put it into Practice (choose a column of Lesson cards, play the cards, take the appropriate Diploma.

Anyway, the game continues until one of two conditions is met: The deck is empty or when one or more players have 11 cards in their Print. Points are awarded based on the point symbols in your Print and studio, total number of cards in your Print, longest sequence of identical Seasons, completed Diploma tiles, and ending with the Grand Master pawn. The player with the most points wins.
