Katsushika Hokusai

Japanese, 1760–1849

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) è stato un pittore e incisore giapponese attivo durante il periodo Edo. Era conosciuto per le sue xilografie, in particolare la serie Trentasei Viste del Monte Fuji, che includeva La Grande Onda di Kanagawa. Hokusai espanse ukiyo-e oltre i ritratti di cortigiane e attori per includere paesaggi, piante e animali. Il suo lavoro influenzò gli artisti europei durante l'ascesa del giapponismo, e produsse oltre 30.000 opere d'arte nella sua vita.
