Hokusai Katsushika
Katsushika Hokusai's masterwork the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji returns to the Museum’s exhibition calendar with enhanced digital technology.
This famous series of woodblock prints is a treasure trove not only for the images of magnificent Mount Fuji, but also for the dynamic portrayal of people getting on with their lives. Artists such as Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne, so far away in Europe, were also inspired by the aesthetics and unique compositions of his work. The most famous print of all is The Great Wave, depicting the offshore of Kanagawa with the impressive wave design. A French composer Claude Debussy was so impressed that he used this wave on the cover of the first edition of his La Mer.
The exhibition combines this great work with its digital representations at super high definition, projected on a massive screen. Some prints are also contrasted with photographs of the same locations of today, offering fascinating point of reference to Hokusai’s sketching voyage. Discover a new perspective on his Mount Fuji series, which never ceases to entice the viewers after 190 years of its first printing.
