- In 1811 at age 51, Hokusai created the Hokusai Manga, which contained amusing images for his students and other aspiring artists to copy. It became a best-seller and one of the earliest recorded uses of the term manga, though aesthetically is quite different to the modern equivalent.

Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock print The Great Wave of Kanagawa (1830) hugely impacted both pop culture and art history. His artistic endeavors included book illustration and painting. In the times of the infamous Edo Period, Hokusai produced an estimated 30 000 artworks. His ukiyo-e prints delivered a depiction of the world which was a boldly abst...
Hokusai had worked with European perspective for some time, but the lessons he had picked up throughout his middle years began manifesting in his later years. In Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji(c. 1829–1832), he combined a distinctly Japanese style with a distinctly Western style, taking his newfound techniques to their optimal resolution. Pictorial...
While landscape prints were still not as lucrative as the kubuki Ukiyo-e prints in the late 18th century, sales would increase as a result of an increase in domestic travel within Japan. The merchants, pilgrims, and pleasure seekers who visited Mount Fuji created a need for a new genre of souvenirs in the form of woodblock prints of Japanese mounta...
On July 8 1853 Japan’s self-imposed isolation came to an end when armed ships sailed uninvited into Tokyo harbor on behalf of the United States government demanding that the Japanese start trading with them. Japanese art which had developed independently for over two centuries was finally revealed to the rest of the world. The French became fond of...
In 1834, Hokusai started calling himself Gakyō Rōjin, which means “the old man crazy to paint”. Hokusai produced some of his best work in these final decades. He had only begun Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fujiat the age of 70. As he said himself: “Until the age of 70, nothing I drew was worth notice. At 73 years, I was unable to fathom the growth of ...
How Many Prints Are in Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji?
This is a trick question because the series was so popular that Hokusai ended up making 10 more, so there are actually 46 in total. Additionally, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji was so successful that it led to the commission of The 100 Views of Mount Fuji.
Was Hokusai Also a Performance Artist?
Yes. He was known to wow audiences with street performances during which he painted huge images spanning hundreds of feet using buckets of ink and a broom. He also entertained the royal court of the Tokugawa shōgun when he painted a large blue curve and then dipped a chicken’s feet in red pigment and chased it across the canvas.
Did Hokusai Work Alone?
No. Artists would only design the initial image and were not involved in the printing process. First, the publisher would commission the work, then the artist, then the block cutter, and the printer. Considering the fact that he also had followers, disciples, and students, Hokusai likely worked with a dedicated team of skilled craftsmen.
Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist and ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. Translated as ‘pictures of the floating world’, ukiyo-e artists made woodblock prints depicting...
Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎, c. 31 October 1760 – 10 May 1849), known mononymously as Hokusai, was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period, active as a painter and printmaker. [1] He is best known for the woodblock print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which includes the iconic print The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Dec 5, 2018 · Artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), the designer of the famous print, The Great Wave, has become closely associated with it because he chose 'manga' for the title of a series of picture-books that he published starting in 1814, the Hokusai manga.
Early western evaluations of the history of ukiyo-e saw him as the late saviour of a style in decay, but Hokusai was a contemporary of classical-period artists, training in the studio of <em>...
