Katsushika Hokusai made Rainstorm Beneath the Summit around 1830-1832 for his series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Known as the Black Fuji, it is the stormy companion of his Red Fuji: the snowy summit rises calm and bright above the clouds, while at the foot of the mountain a dark storm breaks and lightning flashes across the slope. This multilayer design by Decorartes is based on that public-domain print and made for laser cutting.

It is built from 5 layers of 3 mm wood: black on top, then reddish brown, white and blue, over a solid yellow backing. Each deeper layer shows through the cut-outs of the layers above, so the snowy summit, the clouds and the lightning stand out with real depth. Every layer is one single connected piece, and all layers share the same outer frame and the same edges, so they line up exactly when glued and no color peeks out between them.

At 300 x 200 mm, or roughly 11.8 by 7.9 inches, it fits standard laser beds. You may enlarge it freely, scaling all five layers by the same amount, but should not cut it smaller, because its finest lines are 1.3 mm wide.

The ZIP includes every layer as SVG, DXF, DWG, AI, PDF and EPS, an assembled preview with the five colored layers stacked, an alignment check file, preview images and a README with the colors and the assembly steps.
