# Hokusai

> He made the wave everyone knows — that curling wall of water with Fuji in the distance. Hokusai turned ukiyo-e printmaking from actor portraits into landscapes that crossed oceans, shaping how the West saw Japan and how Van Gogh and Monet saw color.

## Bio

Born around 31 October 1760 in Edo-period Japan, Katsushika Hokusai started drawing as a child and never stopped. He worked as a painter and printmaker, expanding ukiyo-e beyond its roots in courtesans and kabuki actors to encompass landscapes, plants, and animals. In response to a domestic travel boom and his own fixation on Mount Fuji, he created Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji — the series that made him. The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Fine Wind, Clear Morning became the prints that secured his fame at home and abroad, riding the Japonisme wave that swept Europe in the late 19th century. Over a career that stretched until his death on 10 May 1849, he produced more than 30,000 paintings, sketches, prints, and book illustrations. He died at 88, still working, still refining — one of the greatest masters in the history of art.
