ACE-ID 2015 Programme Cover Image: “Kirikuri Falls” The image used for the cover of the ACE-ID 2015 Conference Programme is from a woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). It is one of eight oban-sized woodblock prints in the series “A Journey to the Waterfalls in All the Provinces” (Shokoku Taki Meguri) and was originally published by the Edo publisher, Eijudo, in around 1832. This print is titled “Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke” (Shimotsuke Kurokamiyama Kirifuri no taki), and features the Kirifuri Falls, a 75m-tall waterfall in Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture. The name Kirifuri (meaning “falling mist”) is taken from the mist sprayed from the lower waterfall and hitting the rocks.
