As prints of the iconic work were done some colours were then incorporated. An orange colour is used to insinuate that it was during the golden hour. The view of the Fuji mountain is just as incredible breathtaking as the paintings show them to be. Katsushika Hokusai started painting at very young age mainly because of his uncle’s painting works. He was supposed to run a family mirror polishing business later when he was ready but he found a passion in making his art. He would later start painting in public with his student to market their art. He knew the importance of marketing.
He had a long career and was said to be a constant traveller moving from residence to residence. He reportedly didn’t like cleaning and when the dirt in his art studio piled up he would move out. Hokusai was very passionate and outspoken about his art he was reported to have sent a letter to an editor stating his dislike for one of the woodcutters. Only an expert can, however, tell the differences on the woodblock or frame. People nicknamed him and he kept on changing his names too. He made a total of approximatly 30000 painting throughout his lifetime which has totally been celebrated by generations.
