Katsushika Hokusai, born in 1760 and died in 1849, was a famous Japanese artist and printmaker of the ukiyo-e style, which portrayed the “floating world” of the Edo period. He is most recognized for his series of woodblock prints “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”, which depicted the sacred mountain from various perspectives and seasons. This series included the iconic images of “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” and “Fine Wind, Clear Morning”. His wood-block prints inspired artists such as Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, and Vincent van Gogh.
