| | Hokusai and Japanese Art |
 | | Hokusai was the first artist to make these bird-and-flower artworks primarily as prints. | | | Hokusai started out as a art student of woodblocks and paintings. | | | This print is from the 1840s, when Hokusai was already in his 70s and fully developed in his artistic skill. |

| | The Bohemian vs. The Bureaucrat: Hokusai and Hiroshige |
| | Hokusai was a prime example of the independent and bohemian artist, and Hiroshige, 37 years younger, typified the artist of the establishment point of view. | | | Japanese art historian John Rosenfeld of Harvard University argues that Hokusai is the epitome of the eccentric Japanese painter--the artist as outsider and loner. | | | 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. |

| | ReedDesign - Hokusai |
| | During the years from 1798 to 1806, Hokusai was emerging as one of the most dominant personalities of the Ukiyo-e school and in the early part of the 19th century he started to develop and become known for his landscapes. | | | Hokusai is probably the best known of all the Ukiyo-e artists. | | | His most famous print, popularly known as The Great Wave (the title is more properly translated as In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa) is one of the images from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. |

| | Magazine Antiques: Hokusai |
| | Seven essays by various authors single out aspects of Hokusai, such as Western influences on his art (particularly perspective), his letters to his publishers naming the woodcutters of his choice to make his prints, erotic art, and so forth. | | | Switch from drama to art, and the Japanese artist Hokusai is the only man. He did all of these things on paper and silk, making paintings, drawings, prints, illustrated books, and manuals for painters and craftsmen. | | | The second, chronological, section is also divided into seven parts corresponding to some of the distinctions Hokusai himself made by assuming a new art name and ending with a consideration of Hokusai's influence on Western art. |

| | Details surrounding his earliest years are uncertain; it is thought that his family name was Kawamura at birth, and that he was adopted when he was four or five by Nakajima Ise (possibly his natural father), a mirror polisher working for the Tokugawa Shogunate. | | | It was at this time that he gave the name Sori to his most promising pupil and took for himself the name of Hokusai. | | | He was then doing his best work, and during this period one can see the changes in his style from the earlier pictures through the latter ones in the series. |

| | Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) |
| | 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). | | | 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. | | | 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"). |

| | Again, for me, not the greatest special effects but the scene certainly carries power with Hokusai's claim that he is painting not a woman being ravished but the hidden desires of women and is undeniably erotic. | | | Certainly the first half is very beautiful and engaging with it has also to be said lots of nudity as the artist sketches out his erotic pictures. | | | a bio pic on the life and work of Hokusai, he of the amorous octopus woodcut. |

| | With no more than delicate, engraved outlines and flat washes of gray, Hokusai displays his consummate virtuosity as a draftsman, printmaker, and compositional innovator. | | | One Hundred Views of Mt. Fuji by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai is a work of unending visual delight. | | | Seen behind hanging strips of cloth outside a dyer's shop, or through the close stems of swaying bamboo, Mt. Fuji takes on a variety of guises--at times majestic, ominous, and even occasionally comic--to reflect its multiform meaning within Japanese culture. |

| | BBC - Painting the Weather - Hokusai |
| | 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. | | | In the six years before 1802 Hokusai designed a staggering 30,000 colour prints and book illustrations. |
