5 things to know about Hokusai: our introduction to one of Japan’s best-known artists.
.
1. Katsushika Hokusai’s exact date of birth is unknown… but he’s thought to have been born on 30 October 1760.
.
2. He was known by at least 30 different names during his lifetime. While it was not uncommon for Japanese artists to change their names, Hokusai did so more often than any other major artist of his era.
.
3. Once, to create an artwork, Hokusai painted a chicken’s feet red before chasing it across a blue curve painted on paper.
.
4. In the late 1790s, Hokusai began to explore other styles of art, influenced by French and Dutch engravings that were illegally smuggled into the country. His woodblocks began to incorporate elements of the shading, colouring and perspective he had seen in Western works.
.
5. Hokusai is thought to have produced 30,000 works over the course of his lifetime – his prolific output including paintings, sketches, woodblock prints, shunga and picture books.
