Katsushika Hokusai
35 pieces 5 collections Edo (now Tokyo), Japan
Hokusai drew every day for seventy years and changed his art name more than thirty times, each name a new chapter. He is known for one wave, but he designed actor prints, poetry prints, picture books, ghosts, waterfalls and bridges, and fifteen volumes of printed sketchbooks — and in his seventies wrote that he was only beginning to understand how to draw. The pieces here are in the public domain, from museums that share their collections openly (The Art Institute of Chicago and The Cleveland Museum of Art).
