Hokusai created sublime works during the last thirty years of his life, right up to
his death at the age of ninety. Publications have hitherto presented his long career
as a chronological sequence. This book takes a fresh approach based on innovative
scholarship: thematic groupings of works are related to the major spiritual and artistic
quests of Hokusai's life. Hokusai's personal beliefs are studied here through major
brush paintings, drawings, woodblock prints and illustrated books. The book gives
due attention to the contribution of Hokusai's daughter Eijo (Oi), an accomplished
artist in her own right. Hokusai continually explored the mutability and minutiae
of natural phenomena in his art. His late subjects and styles were based on a mastery
of eclectic Japanese, Chinese and European techniques and an encyclopaedic knowledge
of nature, myth, and history. Mount Fuji was the most significant model for Hokusai
in his quest for immortality. This collection of Hokusai's works draws on the finest
to be found in Japan and around the world, making this the most important publication
for years on Hokusai, and a uniquely valuable overview of the artist's late career.
