Bowers Museum — “Beyond the Great Wave: Works by Hokusai from the British Museum”

This exhibition includes a beautiful early example of The Great Wave and ventures beyond to feature a broad selection of works that Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) produced right up to his death at the age of 90. Visitors will be able to examine Hokusai’s personal beliefs through more than 100 paintings, drawings, woodblock prints, and illustrated books that speak to his early career, rise to fame, interest in the natural and supernatural worlds, personal life, and search for immortality.
