For the first time in a decade, the Honolulu Academy of Arts will present Katsushika Hokusai’s entire “Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji” series, one of the museum’s masterpieces. Augmenting the exhibition will be works depicting Mt. Fuji by other artists. Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was one of the most prolific Japanese artists of the late Edo period (1615-1868). The Honolulu Academy of Arts’ more than 500 prints by Hokusai, one of the finest collections of its type in the world, includes a complete set of the renowned "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series. Few institutions own the whole set. This series comprises many of Hokusai’s most famous prints, including The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, Mount Fuji in Clear Weather (commonly known as Red Fuji), and Thunderstorm Beneath the Summit.
