Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist working in Edo, now Tokyo. His woodblock prints combine precise linework with bold compositions, turning landscapes into images with remarkable energy and clarity.
His celebrated series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji explores the mountain from different viewpoints. Hokusai became particularly known for landscapes in indigo and Prussian blue. In The Great Wave, a dramatic foreground and a distant mountain show how much a change of perspective can transform a scene.
