Few works of art hold the power to translate philosophy like the woodblock prints of Katsushika Hokusai visually. While best known for The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Hokusai’s broader body of work—especially his waterfall prints—offers deeper insight into traditional Japanese views on nature, impermanence, and spiritual presence. These aren’t just beautiful Hokusai prints. They’re quiet yet profound reflections of cultural values rooted in Zen and Shinto thinking.
