Japanese Printmaking

Did Monika assign the topic of this week? I can't find(-_-;) Anyway, I introduce you the famous japanese printmaking artist, Hokusai Katsushika. I like his "Fugaku-Sanjurokkei". Fugaku means the art which depict the Mt.Fuji, and Sanjurokkei means thirty-six landscapes. This is the seirous of printmakings which depict the Mt. Fuji(the highest mountain in Japan) from different 36 sites.



When the first time I saw this, I never thought this is the printmaking. He also did lots of amazing printmaking. This web page show other his works.
