Did you know that the ground-breaking optics of impressionism were influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e? While Japan's influence over Western art is well-known among artists and art historians, the specific influence of Katsushika Hokusai's 36 Views of Mt. Fuji, his seminal work, over modern movements like French Impressionism, is somewhat less discussed.

In this book, I argue that understanding the influence of Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji (1830-32), is pivotal to understanding how Impressionism developed not only in France, but in Japan itself.

From Hokusai to Monet, from Dutch Studies to contemporary Japanese photography, this book explains how the East influenced the West, and how the West's influence on the East is also appreciable in Hokusai's iconic views.
