Hokusai (1760–1849) is a world-famous ‘ukiyo-e’ artist whose sophisticated brushwork, dynamic composition, and humorous depiction of human attitudes, features, and movements reveal an extraordinary genius and talent. The catalogue for ‘HOKUSAI – The Artist Mad About Painting’, this book focuses on pieces that represent the roots of modern Japanese manga and anime expression, for example, “speed lines”, “gag depictions”, and other “anime-like” visuals. Featuring approximately 400 works by Hokusai, it includes the ‘Hokusai Manga’, ‘Strange Tales of the Bow Moon’, and the complete 102 illustrations from his masterpiece, ‘One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji’.
