Art for friends: Japanese Surimono

During this Lunch Date, Valeria Martielli talks about surimono, Japanese luxury prints. These were given as exclusive gifts to friends or relations to commemorate special occasions. The literal translation of surimono is 'printed things', but these prints are much more than that. They are often visual riddles, a kind of picture-postcard, where the objects depicted actually mean something else. The longer you look, the more you see!
