Artists

Katsushika Hokusai
As one of the most famous Japanese artists, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) immediately brings to mind the images of his justly famous Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji series. But actually, his amazing artistic skills led him to transcend styles and genres. Hokusai's creative genius continued unwavering until his death at the age of 90. This exhibition features approximately 500 works* spanning his 70-year career beginning from his debut in his 20s under the signature name of Shunro, through the paintings signed with the year of his death. The works, from European, American and Japanese collections are divided into six chronologically defined parts to provide an overview of his creative accomplishments.
