Hokusai: 100 Poets
by Peter Morse
Among the greatest works of art of Hokusai, the renowned 19th century Japanese artist, are his illustrations to the "One Hundred Poems", a body of literature integral to Japanese art and culture since the mid-13th century. Hokusai: 100 Poets assembles for the first time reproductions of all eighty-nine images, and thus displays the extraordinary range of Hokusai's pictorial imagination and powers of invention. In the volume, Peter Morse examines the series of prints in the context of all Hokusia's works, and explains the importance of the "One Hundred Poems" anthology within Japanese cultural life.
