Hokusai’'s Landscapes: The Complete Series

The best known of all Japanese artists, Hokusai was active as a painter, book illustrator and print designer throughout his 90-year life span. Yet his most famous works – the colour woodblock landscape prints issued in series – were produced within a relatively short time, in an amazing burst of creative energy that lasted from about 1830 to 1836. This title focuses exclusively on this pivotal body of the artist’s work and is the first book to do so.
