Book - Hokusai’s Landscapes

A moment to slow down and look a little closer. Hokusai’s Landscapes explores the color woodblock landscape prints of Katsushika Hokusai, bringing the Japanese artist’s celebrated designs into a book you’ll want to return to.

Featuring color reproductions from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston’s Japanese art collection, this volume considers both the enduring appeal of Hokusai’s landscapes and the circumstances behind their creation. Its focus is the remarkable burst of work he produced around 1830–1836, including Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji.

Keep it within reach for an unhurried afternoon of browsing, or give it to someone with a love of Japanese art, printmaking, and the beauty of a well-composed landscape.
