In 1814, Hokusai's sketches were published in a manual with more than 4000 images: Hokusai Manga. It exceeded expectations as a reference book for students and became a bestseller. Here, in an elegant three-volume set, a wide selection of these works is revealed, exploring all the themes, motifs, and drawing techniques found in his art. The caricatures, satirical drawings, multi-panel illustrations, and narrative depictions found in the book are unmistakably the foundation of manga as it is understood today. One volume explores "Daily Life and Manners" (examining everyday habits and objects, from architectural features to combat movements and facial expressions); the second volume "Catalog of All Earth" (primarily dedicated to nature, from animals to rock walls and fish); while the third volume presents "The Strange, Mythical, and Supernatural" (with images that tell myths and depict fantastic creatures).
