<p><strong>The iconic art of Japanese artist Hokusai, from great waves to waterfalls and mountains, reimagined in dramatic 3-D pop-ups</strong></p><p>Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist born in 1760 whose legacy remains, some 150 years after his death, as important as ever. His work influenced Impressionism and Art Nouveau, and a range of contemporary artists working today.</p><p>Realized in jewel-like colors, Hokusai’s simple views of everyday scenes in Japan, his sense of balance and harmony, and his highly stylized but ever-changing techniques seem to capture the spirit and traditions of his homeland. <em>Hokusai Pop-Ups</em> brings this stunning art to life. Noted works such as <em>Ejiri in Suruga Province</em>, <em>Chrysanthemums and Horsefly</em>, <em>Phoenix</em>, <em>Kirifuri Waterfall</em> at <em>Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke</em>, <em>The Poem of Ariwara no Narihira</em>, and the iconic, instantly recognizable <em>The Great Wave</em> are accompanied by explanatory text as well as complementary quotes from writers and artists such as Degas and Van Gogh.</p> 6 pop-ups, plus 5 illustrations
