Pacifica Island Art uses an environmentally-friendly Unryu Japanese rice paper made by the Awagami Factory in Tokushima, Japan. Unryu, which translates to 'cloud dragon paper' in Japanese, features long strands of kozo fiber and is made from natural mulberry and hemp fibers using traditional Japanese Washi techniques - ABOUT THE ARTIST - Aage Rasmussen - Aage Rasmussen (1889-1983) Aage Rasmussen (later Remfeldt) was a Danish photographer and track and field athlete who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics. The Danish artist made his breakthrough with a poster for the Danish State Railways in the late 1930's and he was well respected when he was contracted to do a Maersk Line poster in 1948. 'Carriers on all the Seas' was the Maersk Line catch phrase at the time and Aage Rasmussen made point of that by showing The Seven Seas as an effective background to OLGA MÆRSK, a new and modern cargo liner in the Maersk Fleet
