Japanese Woodblock Print Ukiyoe. Ukiyoe by Katsushika Hokusai. Edo period artist (1760 – 1849). The dramatic composition is such that the violently high and violently swirling waves and the three boats that are tossed by the waves are right in front of you, and you can catch a glimpse of Mt. Fuji in the distance from the undulating waves. This is one of the most famous works representing Hokusai. Hokusai was the only Japanese selected when “LIFE” magazine in the United States created a special feature “100 people in the world who have made the greatest achievements in the last 1000 years”. His novel work surprised impressionist painters such as Van Gogh, Monet, and Degas, and had a great influence on the “Japonismu” that swept the West in the 19th century.
