Where it came from
The Hokusai Manga series, originating in the early 19th century, represents a monumental endeavor by the ukiyo-e master Katsushika Hokusai. Originally conceived as a collection of drawing manuals for his students, the project began around 1814 and eventually expanded into fifteen volumes. These books were intended to serve as a comprehensive visual encyclopedia of the Japanese world, documenting everything from landscape sketches and flora to fantastical creatures and mundane daily life.
Hokusai’s approach to these volumes was revolutionary for the period, blending the precision of traditional brushwork with a distinct sense of movement and dynamic composition. The woodblock-printed books were produced by Nagoya-based publisher Eirakuya Tōshirō and gained immense popularity beyond their instructional purpose, finding an appreciative audience among the general public and artists alike. Their influence eventually reached Europe, where they played a pivotal role in the development of Japonisme and significantly shaped the aesthetic sensibilities of Impressionist painters.
