About this game

Study under the master Hokusai, painting a panoramic scroll by carefully selecting lesson cards. Kanagawa combines push-your-luck with set collection: each round, lesson cards are revealed, and you choose to take what is available or wait for more to appear, risking opponents claiming the best pieces. Your growing painting scroll scores for seasonal harmony, and completing artistic skills earns diplomas. A gentle, beautiful game about the art of patience and composition.
