Hokusai’s Project: The Articulation of Pictorial Space

This important new study on the great ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai is an in-depth appreciation, involving close examination of some forty-four Hokusai prints, of why his works appear in the way they do and how he evolved his own unique artistic style. In addition to a select bibliography, the book is supported by a valuable glossary of artistic terms.
