Description: The first book to focus exclusively on Hokusai's landscapes by one of the world's leading ukiyo - e specialists The best known of all Japanese artists Katsushika Hokusai was active as a painter book illustrator and print designer throughout his 90 - year lifespan. Yet his most famous works the color 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. Hokusai's landscapes revolutionized Japanese printmaking and became icons of world art within a few decades of the artist's death. Hokusai's Landscapes focuses exclusively on this pivotal body of the artist's work the first book to do so. Featuring stunning color reproductions of works from the incomparable Japanese art collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston (the largest collection of Japanese prints outside Japan) Hokusai's Landscapes examines the magnetic appeal of Hokusai's designs and the circumstances of their creation. The book includes all published prints of the artist's eight major landscape series: Thirty - Six Views of Mount Fuji (1830 32) A Tour of Waterfalls in Various Provinces (1833 34) Snow Moon and Flowers (1833) Eight Views of the Ryukyu Islands (1832 33) One Thousand Pictures of the Ocean (1832 33) Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces (1834) A True Mirror of Chinese and Japanese Poetry (1833) and One Hundred Poems Explained by the Nurse (1835). Working prolifically in the years just before Japan opened to the West in 1853, Katsushika Hokusai (1760 1849) was the first Japanese artist to be internationally recognized. His cleverly composed ukiyo - e prints of everyday life and the landscapes of Edo Japan arrived in a 19th - century Europe gripped by Japonisme - mania where they influenced artists such as Degas Gauguin Manet and Van Gogh.
