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.
