From the city of Edo, where Hokusai was born, to Mount Fuji, whose "thirty-six views" remain famous, through the figuration of Buddhism in his art and the traditional cherry blossoms, this graphic novel explores Hokusai's life in parallel with his vision of Japan. The reader discovers this country thanks to the works of the artist, who has played a major role in forging the collective imagination, in Japan but also in the Western world. Since the Impressionists, the art of Hokusai has influenced our notions of strength and harmony. This graphic novel brings together biographical elements with written and illustrated descriptions of Japanese culture and tradition, two aspects that cannot be dissociated.
