Description

Discover the forgotten works of Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan's greatest artists, in this landmark publication. In 2020, the British Museum acquired a remarkable collection of over 100 previously unpublished drawings by Hokusai, which had lain forgotten for over 70 years. This book brings together the complete set of these drawings, published for the first time, offering a unique insight into the artist's work. The drawings, made for an unpublished book called Great Picture Book of Everything, showcase a wide range of subjects, from depictions of religious and mythological figures to animals, landscapes, and natural phenomena. The collection is dominated by subjects related to ancient China and India, and Southeast and Central Asia, revealing fascinating imaginings of the origin of human culture in ancient China.
