ZIPPO Electroforming Wave & Mt. Fuji Lighter

A stunning fusion of Japanese traditional aesthetics and modern metalworking technology, this ZIPPO lighter features the iconic Wave & Mt. Fuji motif inspired by Katsushika Hokusai's legendary masterpiece, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.

The design captures the dramatic contrast between the immense power of the ocean and the enduring presence of Mount Fuji, one of Japan’s most beloved national symbols. Combining movement and stillness, strength and serenity, the composition embodies the harmony and balance that have long characterized Japanese art and culture.

This exceptional model utilizes a traditional Japanese electroforming technique known as Denchū-ban (electroformed metal plate). Skilled artisans first create an engraved master mold, which is then reproduced through precision electroforming technology. The resulting metal plate faithfully preserves even the finest details of the original carving, including delicate textures and chisel marks that would be difficult to reproduce through conventional manufacturing methods.

Each plate is individually finished with decorative hand-plated coloring before being carefully mounted onto the ZIPPO case, creating a distinctive work of functional art that celebrates both Japanese craftsmanship and ZIPPO reliability.

About Wave & Mt. Fuji

The Wave & Mt. Fuji motif is one of the most recognizable themes in Japanese art.

Mount Fuji symbolizes permanence, spiritual significance, and timeless beauty, while the powerful ocean waves represent movement, energy, and the ever-changing forces of nature. Together, these elements create a visual balance between stability and transformation that has fascinated viewers for centuries.

The motif became internationally famous through Katsushika Hokusai’s The Great Wave off Kanagawa, one of the most influential images in the history of art.

About Electroforming (Denchū-ban)

Electroforming is a highly specialized metalworking process that reproduces an original carved design through electroplating technology.

Using this method, artisans can faithfully capture even microscopic details, preserving textures, engraving marks, and subtle surface variations that would otherwise be lost during conventional manufacturing.

The electroformed plate used on this lighter is individually finished with decorative plating and carefully mounted by skilled craftsmen, resulting in a product that combines artistic beauty with exceptional precision.

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is one of Japan’s most celebrated ukiyo-e artists and the creator of Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.

His masterpiece The Great Wave off Kanagawa is recognized worldwide and has influenced generations of artists across Europe, America, and Asia. Hokusai’s work continues to symbolize the artistic excellence and cultural heritage of Japan.
