Hokusai is one of Japan’s most famous ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock print) artists. He is most known for the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and his iconic artwork The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Those interested in Hokusai’s work and Japanese history should visit this special exhibition: Hokusai and the Samurai World.
What happens?
As the name suggests, this exhibition includes artwork that depicts samurai in the Edo period. Many of the paintings show Hokusai’s portrayal of battles from history and tales as well as famous samurai.
Exhibition-goers also get to see some special artifacts — one of these is a tachi, a type of long sword.
On top of all of this, those visiting will have a rare opportunity to see Hokusai’s most famous painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa up close.
