Description

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) is one of East Asia's most celebrated artists, known worldwide for his iconic work , The Great Wave off Kanagawa . An eccentric and self-confessed obsessive, Hokusai dedicated his life to capturing the essence of the "floating world" through prints, illustrations, and paintings that form a veritable visual encyclopedia of daily life in Japan during his time. His art not only marked a milestone in Japanese tradition but also became a valuable source of inspiration for European artists seeking to understand Japanese aesthetics and culture.
