World's most powerful passport now features Japanese ukiyo-e art

Japan is issuing passports featuring art by ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai to Japanese citizens who applied after February 4.
"Ukiyo-e" is a genre of mass-produced Japanese woodblock prints that display everything from theater announcements and landscapes to sumo wrestlers and even salacious erotica.
"Under the Wave off Kanagawa" is one of Japan's best-known ukiyo-e prints.
Sixteen works from the series will be used on 32 pages for the 5-year Japanese passport.
The new Japan passport pages, pictured, feature the "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji."
