Description: Sketching since age 6, Katsushika Hokusai spent more than 70 years painting and creating woodblock prints during the peace and stability of late Edo-period Japan. His most renowned work came after age 60, including each of these landscape and flower prints that bear the hallmark of his work: the ability to harness nature's essence in nuanced detail. This selection includes titles from his Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse, the untitled series known as Small Flowers, and other celebrated series in collections around the world.
