Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai spent nearly nine decades redefining what art could be — and this is the monograph his legacy has always deserved. This landmark XXL volume reproduces 746 woodblock prints, paintings, sketches, and book illustrations sourced from over 100 institutions worldwide, spanning every phase of his career from early actor portraits to the 1,300 designs of his final years. Far beyond The Great Wave — though that's here too — it's the most complete publication on Japan's most famous artist ever assembled.
