The iconic art of Japanese artist Hokusai, from great waves to waterfalls and mountains, reimagined in dramatic 3-D pop-ups 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. 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. Hokusai Pop-Ups brings this stunning art to life. Noted works such as Ejiri in Suruga Province , Chrysanthemums and Horsefly , Phoenix , Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke , The Poem of Ariwara no Narihira , and the iconic, instantly recognizable The Great Wave are accompanied by explanatory text as well as complementary quotes from writers and artists such as Degas and Van Gogh. 6 pop-ups, plus 5 illustrations Review: Beautiful! - My son loved it! Review: Love Katasushika Hokusai block prints - The "Great Wave Off Kanagawa" from his works entitled Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (1830-1834) by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is the most captivating simple color woodblock print. The original is kept in the Honolulu Academy of Arts, a gift from James MIchener in 1955. Can't afford any of his work, but have some cards like this. Love the Pop-Ups take on his woodblock prints!

Classic Art
I have always loved the drawing on the cover. I needed a house warming gift, for a friend's daughter, and she studied the chinese language and has a particular interest in all things asian. So this seemed an appropriate gift and she loved it. The only flaw was, one of the crysthanthamums didn't really open all the way. I'm not sure why.

Wonderful book!
This is a great pop-up book. We saw the Hokusai exhibit in Boston and ordered the book for our grandkids. One of them had done an art project in school using Hokusai's waves as the theme, so we know he will treasure the book.

Pop-ups worthy of Hokusai's art
I love this book, the latest in this designer's series of pop-ups of great artists (check out her Escher and Dali books as well). The pop-up architecture for each spread can seem almost deceptively simple but they are a perfect match for the wonderful art. Yes, the Great Wave is on the cover and it's the piece everyone knows but you've got to check out The Phoenix for a truly eye popping translation of a 2D painting to 3D.

Impressive.
A very cool book. I got it for a child. Older people will appreciate the art, while kids will enjoy the 3D pop-ups. It's very intricate, and very cool.
