葛飾北斎
By Katsushika Hokusai (1760~1849)
``Shokoku Waterfalls'',
a collection of eight pictures of famous places,
is said to have been published around 1833,
after ``Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji'' was published.
It is a masterpiece and a masterpiece among
Hokusai's landscape prints,
and is an ambitious work that challenges
the expression of ``water'' using famous waterfalls
from all over Japan such as Edo,
Nikko, Kiso, and Tokaido as subject matter.
This work can be said to embody Hokusai's artistic
pursuit of depicting the essence of a motif
from a unique perspective.
