Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period. In his time he was Japan's leading expert on Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1831).
The largest of Hokusai's works is the 15-volume collection Hokusai Manga, a book crammed with nearly 4,000 sketches that was published in 1814.These sketches are often incorrectly considered the precedent to modern manga, as Hokusai's Manga is a collection of sketches (of animals, plants and flowers, people, objects, yokai specters, study pictures of western perspectives, graphic patterns, etc.), different from the story-based comic-book style of modern manga. Hokusai Manga gave great influence on overseas artists, in particular, impressionism artists.
The tittle written on the title paper attached on the front cover says "Denshin Kai-shu Hokusai ga-zu Shohen Zen". Denshin means to depict people with literature or paintings and convey true nature of them to the viewers. Kaishu probably means to be free from certain types of painting techniques.
