Hokusai's Great Wave: Art, Isolation, and Innovation

Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa, exploring its creation within the context of Japan's Edo period. The video explains the socio-political climate of self-imposed isolation, the rise of ukiyo-e woodblock prints as a popular art form accessible to the merchant class, and Hokusai's artistic innovations, including his use of Prussian blue and European perspective techniques. The piece further details the collaborative process of woodblock printmaking and the cultural significance of Mount Fuji. Finally, it connects The Great Wave's imagery of a potentially destructive wave to anxieties about Japan's future and its eventual opening to the West, and hints at its influence on Western art, particularly Vincent van Gogh.
