From the STARchives: 36 Views (2013)

Inspired by Hokusai's famous paintings of Mount Fuji, Naomi Iizuka's 36 VIEWS centers around a Japanese pillow book – a rare and priceless artifact containing the intimate writings of an eleventh-century courtesan. But as art dealers, scholars, and reporters clamor over the discovery, we realize that everything is not as it seems.

About this clip: An Asian art dealer stumbles upon what he thinks are transcriptions from an ancient pillow book, but in reality are fictional writings penned by his long-suffering research assistant, John Bell. Not wanting to admit the truth of the matter, John asks painter and art restorer Claire Song to fabricate the “original” version of his pillow book. As Claire shows off her handiwork, John begins to have second thoughts.
