  Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), a legendary artist of the Edo period, was actively engaged in many art genres such as kyōka ehon (illustrated books of humorous poems), yomihon (novels), etehon (art manuals), nishiki-e (brocade pictures) and brush paintings for over 70 years. His works reached even Europe during his lifetime to high acclaim, and the Hokusai Manga in particular is accredited to have inspired Japonism. The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji is one of Hokusai’s most celebrated works, published by Nishimura Eijudō in around 1831. Backed by the Mount Fuji fever of the epoch, it enjoyed immense success for the extraordinary compositions and impressive color rendering such as imported rare Berlin

  WATARI-UM MUSEUM

  Period

  2019.04.05〜2019.07.07

  Do you know a film called “Stranger than Paradise” (1984, directed by Jim Jarmusch) which gained attention with its offbeat image and music in the early 1980s? John Lurie (born in 1952, in USA) who holds an exhibition this time at WATARI-UM, played a leading role in this movie. He appears in the film as a dull, but somewhat a cool guy earning his living by gambling in New York. The whole black-and-white movie showed in a bland tone, real faces of the young people in New York when they were excited over the “I LOVE NEW YORK” campaign. John Lurie was also in charge of music in the film

The series is not made up of real landscapes depicted in their original form.
