Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai (1760 to 1849) was a Japanese ukiyo-e painter, artist, and printmaker. He is recognized for his infamous woodblock print series titled “Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji.” This series included the famous "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" that achieved global success, particularly in the west. He produced about thirty thousand color prints and book illustrations between 1796 and 1820. All of them were inspired by Japanese practices, daily life, legends, and traditions. He switched his name a couple of times, each shifting his artistic style. Hokusai created most of his significant work after reaching 60 years.
