Katsushika Hokusai, an artist who has been selected as the only Japanese by LIFE magazine "100 people who have made great achievements in the last 1000 years" and who is still loved by people all over the world. A great ukiyo-e artist who lived to be 90 years old in the Edo era when he was over 70 years old and was said to have an average life span of 40 years old. He left over 30000 works, and even those who are not interested in painting can say, "I have seen it!" His works are so famous that even those who are not interested in painting can say, "I have seen it!" However, his character and background are surprisingly mysterious. In this book, we introduce Hokusai's "Portrait" from the works he left and the background of the times, as well as places related to Hokusai such as Sumida City, Tokyo, where he moved more than 90 times in his life, Obuse, Nagano, Kanagawa, Hayama, Zushi, and Boso, Chiba. We will provide you with a variety of content, including an art museum where you can see Hokusai's works, a production report where you can make ukiyo-e, and an interview page for contemporary artists who respect Hokusai.
