The world of Hokusai Manga that every Japanese person should know: Incredible drawing skills, the dancing world of Hokusai Manga!

Katsushika Hokusai is the famous artist known for his iconic painting, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa." Hokusai was an Edo-period ukiyo-e artist who lived to the remarkably old age of 90, and it is said that he continued to paint until the very end, hoping to improve his skills. He left behind 15 volumes of drawing manuals for his apprentices. These are the "Hokusai Manga." The "Hokusai Manga" contains around 4,000 drawings. These books were created by craftsmen who printed Hokusai's preliminary sketches using woodblock printing. Every page is breathtaking. While it may not be as well-known in Japan as "The Great Wave," the "Hokusai Manga" is equally popular overseas as an excellent collection of Hokusai's drawings. Moreover, the "Hokusai Manga" was extremely popular in Japan during the late Edo period. Volume 2 features selected drawings from the 15 volumes of the "Hokusai Manga," showcasing Katsushika Hokusai's genius drawing skills, his perspective on art, and his imaginative expressions. The appendix at the end of each volume includes double-page spreads of chapters six through ten of "Hokusai Manga" (all pages across all three volumes)!
