About Katsushika Hokusai

Best known for his masterpiece series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, Hokusai created an extraordinary body of work spanning landscapes, portraits, illustrated books, and nature studies. His innovative compositions and bold use of colour profoundly influenced artists around the world and helped introduce Japanese art to Europe during the Japonisme movement.
