Hokusai, the Japanese master artist and printmaker of the ukiyo-e school, produced a vast array of artworks, including single-sheet prints of landscapes and actors, hand paintings, individual surimonos, erotic books and many more. His famous print series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" marks the summit in the history of the Japanese landscape print, as epitomised by his world famous design 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa'. Hokusai's determined industry, spanning over seventy years of continuous creation, serves as the prototype of the single-minded artist, striving to complete his given task in the endless pursuit of perfection.
