Japanese, 1760–1849
Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was a Japanese painter and printmaker active during the Edo period. He was known for his woodblock prints, especially the series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which included The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Hokusai expanded ukiyo-e beyond portraits of courtesans and actors to include landscapes, plants, and animals. His work influenced European artists during the rise of Japonisme, and he produced over 30,000 artworks in his lifetime.
