Hokusai

What if you already know who Katsushika Hokusai is? Imagine, this person has already influenced your life and culture.

Even if you are not interested in art, you have certainly heard of this artist, and perhaps even tried on clothing featuring images of his works.

Do you remember the times when you really wanted to give up and surrender or your childhood when you couldn't sit down to do your homework? It was then that you were told about a Japanese artist who diligently and humbly painted Mount Fuji throughout his life. In fact, this is a myth or just a motivational story that arose from the life path and creativity of a great artist. O.N. Solodovnikova's book "Hokusai" will help you understand where the myth is and where the truth is, learn more about the already familiar prints, and see new ones.

Which familiar prints are we talking about? In 2018, the company Uniqlo released a clothing line designed based on the series of prints "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji." You have definitely seen these famous works at least once.
