		Hokusai succeeded in blending three styles -- Japanese, Chinese, and Western -- into one unified, individual, and highly personal style.
		Their landscapes were not the abstract, imaginary or idealistic ones presented in traditional Japanese painting of the past; they were the aspects of nature in which the citizens of Edo lived and with which they were familiar in their everyday life.

	Katsushika Hokusai and Japanese Art,
		Instead of shoguns, samurai, and their geishas, which were the common topics of Japanese illustrative art at the time, Hokusai placed the common man into his woodblocks, moving the emphasis away from the aristocrats and to the rest of humanity.
		Hokusai loved to depict water in motion: the foam of the wave is breaking into claws which grasp for the fishermen.
		Hokusai was inspired by European scientific illustrations and the European respect for the beauty of Nature.

	Katsushika Hokusai Biography / Biography of Katsushika Hokusai Biography
		The Japanese painter and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is considered one of the six great Ukiyo-e masters and the founder of the school of landscape artists that dominated this form during its last phase.
		While the Japanese wood block of the 18th century was dominated by the figure print, notably pictures of actors and courtesans, the prints of the early 19th century were largely devoted to landscapes and to scenes from the daily life of the common people.
		This development was due to the work of Hokusai, whose introduction of the landscape print was responsible for infusing Ukiyo-e, which had become decadent and stagnant at the end of the 18th century, with a new vitality.

		He then was apprenticed to the woodblock artist Shunsho of the Katsukawa school, one of the masters of the woodblock print, and by 1779 Hokusai was done with his apprenticeship, and was given the name Katsukawa Shunro by his master.
		Although Hokusai had done landscapes in small formats before (some as early as 1806), in 1823 he commenced the series which was to secure his places as one of the great artists of all time, the "Thirty-Six Views of Fuji" (although the series actually contains 46 prints).
		In these, Hokusai produced a series of masterpieces that have affected the art world ever since, in particular the Impressionists, as well as imprinting themselves on the popular imagination as the canonical Japanese woodblock print (in the form of the famous print of this series, the "Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa").

		From the 1790's to 1800's, Hokusai designed many surimono (privately commissioned prints) and drew illustrations for kyoka (comic verse) books, which were growing in popularity.
		The techniques used for these prints and the style in which they were executed are so unusual for the artist that these works do not quite appear to be his.
		This series of sketchbooks (fifteen volumes in total) covering a wide variety of subjects is often referred to as instructional drawing manuals, intended to serve as kind of textbooks for those who wanted to be an artist.

		Hokusai was an outstanding artist of the Ukiyo-e, or ‘pictures of the floating world’ school which specialised in depictions of everyday life.
		The freedom and grace of his later work, such as his famous views of Mount Fuji, was achieved after a lifetime of constant drawing and observation as seen in his 13 volume printed manga or sketchbook (begun 1814) of rapidly drawn cartoon-like figures and animals.

		A strong gust of wind catches a group of travellers by surprise, blowing away one man’s straw hat, and upsetting a pile of paper carried by another.
		Hokusai exaggerates the people’s stance in order to convey their struggle to withstand the force of the wind, which sweeps away the loose sheets of paper, and shakes the leaves from the trees.
		The entire scene, with Mount Fuji in the background, is depicted with bold outlines and strong colour.
