	Prints: Katsushika Hokusai
		Hokusai was the first Japanese printmaker who endeavored to show the spectrum of human types and experiences in his work, and he was also the first to produce a significant series of pure landscape prints.
		Hokusai's synthesis of Western and Japanese stylistic features in his landscape prints sprang from his fifty years of experience as an artist, his exhaustive study of all school styles of Japanese painting, and his involvement in a revolutionary trend toward scientific analysis that swept Japan in the 1770s and 1780s.
		Hokusai was a member of the artisan class of commoners, the third of four ranks in Edo period (1615-1868) Japanese society.

	The Bohemian vs. The Bureaucrat: Hokusai and Hiroshige

		Far from being embarrassed by his wretched housekeeping, Hokusai scolded the fellow for his lack of manners in not ignoring the mess, and then told him he would not paint for him unless he apologized and told all who met him that the house of Hokusai was a model of cleanliness.
		Whereas Hokusai insisted on depicting the world in his own individual way, and controlled the viewer of his compositions, Hiroshige took the public and more common route, and added his genius to the traditional imagery and actual reality of the Japanese landscape.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Hokusai Waterfalls
		Katsushika Hokusai was an artist of such prodigious skill and imagination that it is nearly impossible to discuss his notable achievement in anything less than a book-length exposition.
		The nearly perfect circle of the hollow is a central decorative motif, a metaphorical "round eye" simplified as though intended for Hokusai's students to use as a model from one of his didactic treatises.
		The human presence is depicted poignantly, the men dwarfed by the surging falls and imposing cliffs, yet their presence nevertheless a harmonious part of this magnificent view.

	The Insatiable 'Hokusai' - washingtonpost.com
		Katsushika Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849, and who later claimed to have begun drawing seriously at age 6, was almost unbelievably prolific, an insatiable and restless lover of life.
		The 41 Hokusai paintings donated by Freer, which were collected about the turn of the 20th century and have not been displayed since 1960, are the most stunning revelation.
		Hokusai's books were so popular that, though intended for other artists, they were published to huge success and frequently reprinted.

	The Great Wave at Kanagawa by Katsushika Hokusai
		To emphasise his vision, Hokusai has the viewer looking up into the menacing hollow of the giant wave – a view that the oarsmen are too terrified to face.
		Hokusai characteristically cast a traditional theme in a novel interpretation.
		Hokusai inventively inverted this formula and positioned a small Mount Fuji within the midst of a thundering seascape.

	Hokusai Tokaido Prints
		Hokusai (1760-1849) had one of the longest, most varied, and most interesting careers of any of the Japanese woodblock print artists.
		Although Hokusai is best remembered for his large landscape series, much of his best work was in the surimono genre.
		The Hokusai series was succcesful enough (or perhaps to cash in on the popularity of the Hiroshige series) that several later editions were commercially done, the longer prints being removed so as to keep the size uniform.

	Viewing Japanese Prints: Hokusai Kacho-e
		Soon after Hokusai, the artist Hiroshige also created some of the masterpieces of kachô-e and thus the genre reached its culmination.
		The "small flowers" series, for example, is known in variant impressions from different blocks and with different seals (the first edition prints have separate seals for the publisher and the censor, while the recut impressions have a single seal divided diagonally for the censor and the artist's manji seal).
		The quality of line is reminiscent of Hokusai's rhythmic, slightly agitated style of drawing, but whether the print was based on his sketch or, even if it was, whether it was printed after his death remains an uncertainty in the opinion of some scholars.
