Additional cultural and artistic information about the artist

* * *

Main works

The thirty-six views of Mount Fuji

Artistic movements

Specialist illustrator of ukiyo-e (narrative painting of the Edo period)

Inspiration, influence

Katsukawa Shunsho, his master, but also Western art (introduced to Nagasaki by the Dutch) and especially the contribution of perspective.

His contemporaries

His influence on European artists is immense. Whether it's Gauguin, Hokusai or Sisley, the compositions of the "Madman of Drawing" (as Hokusai nicknamed himself) profoundly marked their visual universes.

To keep in mind

One of the greatest illustrators of all time. The simplicity of his work, its formal beauty, make him an emblematic figure of painting, just like a Japanese artist from the 18th century that he was!

To go further

In 2015, a manga called "Miss Hokusai" tells the collaboration between Hokusai and one of his daughters, O-Ei, who helped him in his work.
