About Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760–1849) possessed a keen perception of humanity and an extraordinarily creative approach to depicting scenes from nature. He produced tens of thousands of artworks—paintings, sketches, illustrated books, and prints—including The Great Wave (ca. 1830–32), which ranks among the most famous images in art history. It belongs to his monumental series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, which is represented in The Met’s celebrated collection of Asian art.
Discover the Artworks Behind this Collaboration
The Great Wave, ca. 1830–32 Katsushika Hokusai
The Great Wave is perhaps Hokusai's most iconic creation. The Edo-period painter and printmaker was especially revered for his landscapes, in which he employed clever use of perspective and a rich color palette.
The Lake at Hakone in Sagami Province, ca. 1830–32 Katsushika Hokusai
This landscape dazzles with its bright, clear tones and brilliant light effects. Hokusai makes use of the cloud form common to traditional Japanese prints, the suyari gasumi, as a framing device to draw attention to the mountain.
Yellow Chrysanthemums on a Blue Ground, ca. 1825 Katsushika Hokusai
Hokusai was endlessly enchanted by nature, and created a number of serene studies of flora and fauna. This tranquil woodblock print is a thoughtful depiction of delicate yellow chrysanthemums against an ethereal blue background.
Brother Rabbit, registered 1882 and printed 1917–23 William Morris
William Morris conceived of this charming pattern in multiple colorways. The fanciful concept was inspired by nature, medieval textiles, and, notably, Brer Rabbit, a 19th-century storybook character popular with the Morris children.
About William Morris
William Morris (British, 1834–1896) derived profound inspiration from nature, which informed his lush visual vocabulary of floral and foliate motifs. As the leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement in Britain during the second half of the 19th century, Morris promoted a return to artisanship and handcrafting over mass production. He designed wonderfully decorative wallpapers, textiles, furniture, stained glass, and books in abundance, a number of which are now in The Met collection.
