Holusai and his school - Forrer

Katsushika Hokusai (October 31, 1760 - May 10, 1849) was a Japanese printmaker, painter, and draftsman. He was mainly concerned with making woodblock prints, better known as ukiyo-e. Hokusai has worked within all genres of ukiyo-e, but he became most famous for his landscape images. His life summarizes the transition from the elegance of printmaking in the 18th century to its zenith in the 19th century. His best-known works include The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and his Manga.
