Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a Japanese painter, draughtsman and designer of woodblock prints of the Edo period. In a career of seventy years he used more than thirty names and produced thousands of prints, book illustrations and paintings. His series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (c. 1830-1832), with Under the Wave off Kanagawa, is world famous, as are the sketchbooks Hokusai Manga. He kept painting into old age; many of his paintings on silk and paper date from his last years. His work strongly influenced European artists such as Monet and Van Gogh.
