Beyond The Great Wave

Exhibition: Hokusai's Water Wonderland

Most of us are familiar with ukiyoe master Katsushika Hokusai's iconic painting "The Great Wave" but not many know that it was just one of the many works he drew of water and splashes. This exclusive exhibition focuses on Hokusai's many other waterworks, all divided into four sections: 1. "Hokusai Dwells in Sumida, City of Rivers," 2. "The Great Wave," 3. "A Waterfall Tour with Hokusai," and 4. "Hokusai and Water, A to Z". Enjoy this rare splash journey into Edo-period art — it's definitely worth a visit!
