This selection introduces the audience to Hokusai's unwavering creativity and the diversity of his unique artistic world." excerpt from the October 2005 Preface by Nihon Keizan Shimbun, Inc.; "Unquestionably the most thoroughly instructive study of the work of Katsushika Hokusai ever presented. How fitting that the prints, paintings, and drawings of this master gathered from around the world are assembled in Ueno, not far from the neighborhood where Hokusai crafted the humane yet haunting images that have seduced international audiences for nearly a century-and-a-half." excerpt from the introductory message by Julian Raby, Director, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M.
