Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a prominent practitioner of ukiyo-e, which is a type of Japanese painting and woodblock print. Hokusai, whose birthplace was Edo (present-day Tokyo) started his artistic journey as an apprentice of a woodblock printmaker moving on to become one of the most famous artists in Japan. It is an important facet of his productivity, as his work covers such genres as landscape, portrait, illustration, and calligraphy.

Apart from The Great Wave off Kanagawa, depicting a fearsome wave threatening boats carrying houses, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji is Hokusai’s best-known series. Suffice it to say, his technical inventions, thoroughness, and sensual forms have created a powerful and enduring impression on Oriental as well as Occidental pictorial traditions.
