A stylish three-volume boxed set of Katsushika Hokusai’s renowned manga drawings, considered a precursor of contemporary manga.
In 1814, the great Japanese artist and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) published the first volume of his sketches:
Hokusai Manga
. Originally designed as a reference for his students to emulate, it surpassed all expectations and became a bestseller, eventually expanding to fifteen volumes and over four thousand images.
This three-volume edition is an extensive selection of Hokusai’s sketches, which present all the themes, motifs, and techniques found in his art. Although they are not based around an ongoing narrative, the caricatures, satirical drawings, and multipanel illustrations can clearly be seen as a forerunner of manga as it is understood today.
Volume 1 explores
Edo Life
, the everyday world of the city that would later become Tokyo, featuring people from all walks of life at work and at play. Volume 2 is devoted to
The Wonders of Nature
, including animals, birds, and sh as well as landscapes, weather, and scenes of natural beauty. Finally, volume 3,
Flights of Fancy
, is packed with mythical creatures, supernatural beings, and all sorts of weird and wonderful imagery from the master’s imagination. This collection has enchanted and inspired artists and art lovers for two centuries and is now ripe for rediscovery.
