Hokusai was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist famous for Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, including The Great Wave off Kanagawa. His detailed landscapes and innovative compositions influenced both Japanese and Western art. Today, his timeless works are enjoyed as prints that bring Japan’s beauty into homes and galleries.
Born in 1760 in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai began his artistic journey as an apprentice woodblock carver and developed his skills in printmaking and painting. Over his long career, he produced thousands of works, spanning from landscapes and nature to scenes of daily life and mythological subjects. His unique style, characterized by meticulous detail and dynamic movement, is exemplified in art prints that continue to capture viewers’ imaginations.
One of his notable works: The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831).
Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji
Hokusai’s most celebrated series, Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, reflects his fascination with Japan’s sacred mountain. Each print presented Mount Fuji from different angles and under various conditions, showcasing his mastery of composition and color. This series solidified his status as one of Japan’s greatest artists, and art prints of these works remain popular for their striking beauty and cultural significance.
Innovation in Art and Technique
Hokusai was known for experimenting with perspectives and techniques that set his work apart from his contemporaries. His art often featured dramatic angles, vivid colors, and movement that brought scenes to life. This innovative spirit made his work influential not only in Japan but also in the Western world, where it inspired artists like Vincent van Gogh. Today, art prints of Hokusai’s works showcase this ingenuity and continue to attract art enthusiasts.
One of his admired pieces: Shimotsuke Waterfall (1834)
Life and Legacy
Hokusai’s dedication to his craft was evident in his claim that he only truly began to understand art in his later years. Despite personal struggles, he continued to create prolifically, producing art well into his 80s. His influence reached beyond his lifetime, shaping the development of both Japanese art and European modernism. Art prints of his works, like The Great Wave off Kanagawa, remain treasured for their timeless and universal appeal.
Hokusai’s Timeless Appeal
Hokusai passed away in 1849, leaving behind a legacy that transcended generations. His ability to depict the power and beauty of nature with elegance and precision solidified his place as a master of ukiyo-e. Art prints of Hokusai’s masterpieces, such as The Great Wave off Kanagawa and Red Fuji, continue to bring the serene and dramatic aspects of his art into modern homes, celebrating his enduring impact on the art world.

Very reliable company with quality products and great customer care. Art prints are a little pricier compared to budget Art prints companies but worth every penny, the difference in quality still gives great value for money.

Beautiful art! Got one piece at a market in Berlin, then decided to get two more from the same collection to put on a big white wall in my bedroom. Shipping to Canada was smooth and faster than I expected.

My order was easily placed and quickly delivered, outside of Germany. The Art prints are of a fantastic quality. This was the second time I ordered from Kuriosis and both times were a very good experience

This is my second time ordering from here and the service and quality are second to none. I have ordered posters from other companies and their quality is no where near as good as Kuriosis. Also the postage is very quick.
