Overview
Published for the first time in English, this book is a beautiful re-creation of a Hokusai manual Best known for his iconic print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as the Great Wave, Hokusai transformed woodblock printmaking. His mastery of ukiyo-e has inspired generations of printmakers, and his works exposed the world to Japanese woodblock. Not only was Hokusai a great artist, he was also a dedicated teacher. He sought to pass down his deep understanding of painting and ukiyo-e to practicing artists. A beautifully curated selection of texts written by Hosukai paired with prefaces that discuss Hokusai's work, this volume provides insight into the psyche of Hokusai and a personal account of being an artist during the Edo period. Connecting Hokusai's prints from the Edo period to Manga, Matsuba Ryoko grounds Hokusai's contributions to contemporary Japanese culture and art. Also included in this book, Vincent Van Gogh's letter about Hokusai's Great Wave and contemporary artist Ikeda Manabu's concise observations on the artist reveal Hokusai's lasting influence on the art world.
