Katsushika Hokusai
ca. 1830–32 · Woodblock print; ink and color on paper · Asian Art
This is one of Hokusai's most celebrated works. A thunderstorm, indicated by a bolt of red lightning, dramatizes the sudden change from a cloud-filled summer sky to the murky violence that disturbs all below Mount Fuji. Katsushika Hokusai, one of the world's most creative artists, embodied an extraordinary sensitivity toward nature and a keen perception of humanity.
