This publication has been developed from ideas first presented at
the international symposium Late Hokusai: thought, technique,
society, held at the British Museum in May 2017. The symposium was
organised to enable specialists in a range of disciplines relating
to early modern Japan to view and consider the critically acclaimed
exhibition Hokusai: beyond the Great Wave, then being presented at
the British Museum. The exhibition brought together representative
works by the artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760−1849) in the various
media in which he worked – colour woodblock printed,
woodblock-printed illustrated books, brush paintings on paper or
silk, and brush drawings − that were produced between the age of
61 and his death aged 90. Building on the themes of the exhibition,
authors from the UK, Europe, Japan and USA have engaged with late
Hokusai from a variety of perspectives, both intrinsic and
extrinsic to his life and works. Essays have been grouped within
the broad categories of ‘thought’ -- Hokusai’s intellectual
concerns and the ways his art brought these to life;
‘technique’ – how the artist pursued excellence in a wide
range of media, within a commercialised art market; and
‘society’ – dimensions of cultural interaction and patronage.
A fourth section on ‘legacy’ looks at how stories of Hokusai
have been as much generated by 130 years of scholarship, as they
have by his works themselves. Challengingly, faked paintings and
printed works have both contaminated and supported those stories.
This innovative approach provides new insights into the work of one
of the world’s most celebrated artists and suggests many new
avenues for Hokusai research.
