An excellent overview of Hokusai's art in a beautiful book. The writing is good, not too detailed. I think this could be a good introductory book to anyone who doesn't know anything about the artist. The book contains a nice selection of prints including the Great Wave. Though this isn't a biography we are given a few glimpses of the artist's life, like how he changed his artistic name many times and that he painted almost until the end of his life,when he was 90!
