Of the three hundred or so printed books Hokusai created in his long lifetime, a huge proportion were dedicated drawing manuals, known as \u003cem\u003ee-tehon\u003c\/em\u003e. They display not only Hokusai's great proficiency as a draftsman, but also his wealth of ideas and his sense of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eHokusai's Method\u003c\/em\u003e collects fifteen volumes of Hokusai's \u003cem\u003ee-tehon\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring over eight hundred illustrations ranging from 1812 to 1848, faithfully reproducing every page. Showcasing his playful approach to drawing using songs and poems, pictures composed of letterforms (a forerunner to today's emoji), modern designs for craftsmen, and even dance moves, this volume illustrates the rich spectrum of his talents and achieves his aim to \"preserve everything I've learned.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyoko Wada,Ryoko Matsuba,Katsushika Hokusai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.90w x 2.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500028773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWada, Kyoko:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eKyoko Wada\u003c\/strong\u003e is an art writer, critic, and historian of Japanese culture.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatsuba, Ryoko:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRyoko Matsuba\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lecturer in Japanese digital arts and humanities, University of East Anglia.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHokusai, Katsushika:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eKatsushika Hokusai\u003c\/strong\u003e (1760-1849) was a Japanese artist, \u003cem\u003eukiyo-e\u003c\/em\u003e painter, and printmaker of the Edo period.","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Kyoko Wada \/ Hardcover \/ English","offer_id":47284151320733,"sku":"9780500028773","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_cedf319b-0f05-4796-a3e4-e6848e779eb3.jpg?v=1759981125","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/hokusais-method-9780500028773","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
