Hokusai

Dec 12, 1760 - October 5, 1849


Hokusai painted innumerable pictures of Mount Fuji and perhaps the most famous is that enclosed in a wave.

I follow the mistaken practice of using Hokusai's first name for identification rather than his family name. That's equivalent to naming a couple of the famous Flemish painters as Johannes and Jan instead of Vermeer and Steen. Hokusai has the family name Katsushika.
