Author Information

As an artist, Katsushika Hokusai was deeply dedicated to his craft, leading a life marked by continuous exploration and reinvention. Born in 1760 in Edo (now Tokyo), he began his journey in art as an apprentice to Katsukawa Shunsho, where he mastered the ukiyo-e style. Throughout his career, he created over 30,000 works, ranging from woodblock prints to sketches and book illustrations. He passed away on May 10, 1849, but his legacy endures, influencing countless artists and movements globally. Tuttle Studio draws inspiration from the modern and traditional cultures of Asia to create its language workbooks and resources, journals, stationery, gift wrapping products and origami paper. It is a division of Tuttle Publishing, a leading publisher of books on the languages, history, art and cultures of Asia. The company was founded in 1832 in Rutland, Vermont (USA) and opened a branch in Tokyo, Japan in 1948.
