Fukuoka Asian Art Museum will exhibit art by the much celebrated Katsushika Hokusai between Jan. 2 ~ Feb. 15. Best known for his ukiyo-e painting series ‘Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji’, Hokusai’s portrayal of a bright red Mount Fuji and big blue tidal waves has become an iconic image of Japan and fixture on many postcards and prints. His art has been praised from the Edo period through to modern day Japan and has created a sensation in Europe, attracting many students from overseas. The museum will further exhibit Hokusai’s leading student’s work, and those who have been inspired by Hokusai, including the French artist Henri Rivière, and his acclaimed ‘Thirty-six Views of Eiffel Tower.’
