| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Similar image(s) can be found in The Hokusai Sketchbooks: Selections from the Manga by James A. Michener, pages 62 and 63 (this image). Note: "Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾 北斎, October or November 1760 - May 10, 1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. He was influenced by such painters as Sesshu, and other styles of Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūroku-kei, c. 1831) which includes the internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created during the 1820s."--Wikipedia. Note: "These eight thin people include a blind man, top left; a women, top center, whose shaved eyebrows indicate that she is married; and an extremely thin samurai who sits beside his sword. The men at the bottom are playing shogi, a Japanese variety of chess...These two pages [one page (right side) of double-page spread included here] appeared facing each other in the original Manga and have always been among the most frequently reproduced, since they are held to be typical of both Hokusai and this series of books."--The Hokusai Sketchbooks: Selections from the Manga by James A. Michener, page 63. Note: Original caption information provided as: "Hokusai pages from the Manga 1760-1849 Japan" |
