Katsushika Hokusai

Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter, and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) created thousands of woodcut prints based on the traditions, legends, and lives of his countrymen. His timeless images achieved their greatest popularity in the West and influenced generations of artists, most notably Van Gogh, Monet, and Degas.
