Hokusai
was a very famous Japanese artist. He
lived from 1760 to 1849 (positively recent in terms of Japanese history)
His most important works were created after he was 60 –
so there is hope for everyone.
The pic at the top is of his greatest masterpiece – The
Great Wave Off Kanegawa. Kanegawa is now
part of Yokohama. Mt Fuji is in the
background. At first I thought this was
a tsunami but apparently it is meant to be a rogue wave.
I also like Fuji
Mountain in Clear Weather
And Unusual
Views of Celebrated Bridges.
There is something quite modern to me about his work.
So awesome!
