Biography: Born in Edo, Katsushika Hokusai originally began his artistic career as a wood-engraver. He then studied under Japanese painter, Katsugawa Shunsho, until disagreements between the two ended their relationship in 1785. Hokusai then took on book illustration using the traditional technique of Japanese wood block printing. His technically superior prints of everyday Japanese life are best represented by his two of his series, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and Hundred Views of Mount Fugi. Impressionism was strongly influenced by Japanese prints after several of Hokusai’s pieces were used as packing material for a box of China sent to Felix Bracquemond in 1856.
