Some even say he moved because he hated cleaning his house! Katsushika Hokusai, more commonly known as "Hokusai," was born and spent most of his life in Sumida, and many of his art depicts scenery from his hometown. In 1702, the Forty-seven Ronin, commonly known as the Chushingura, raided the Kira residence in Honjo (current-day Ryogoku 3-chome, Sumida City), avenging their lord. Although it took place nearly 60 years before Hokusai's birth, he created elaborate pieces depicting the event. Some think that Kobayashi Heihachiro, the chief retainer of the Kira household who was killed in the raid, was Hokusai's maternal great-grandfather, making Hokusai a pivotal figure in telling the history of Sumida.After leaving the Katsukawa school, he took on the name Sori, the head of the Edo Rinpa school of painting known for its decorative style. He became deeply involved in comic tanka poetry, creating illustrations for many picture books.For his novel illustrations, Hokusai elevated his art by using stippling and ink gradations to create a sense of depth and fanciful compositions. He created many Western-style landscape woodblock prints and drawings by hand.With so many pupils to teach, Hokusai poured his enthusiasm into creating art instruction books.Portrait of Hokusai drawn by his apprentice EisenThe Fiction Writer's Supplement, Mokuro Kimura, 1935, published by Kunimoto, National Diet Library Digital Collections https://dl.ndl.go.jp/pid/1119689 (Reference: April 30, 2024)This piece shows the slopes of Mount Fuji bathed in red early morning light from summer to autumn.Toward the end of his life, Hokusai frequently visited the town of Obuse in Nagano. The Hokusai-kan Museum there features many of his paintings on display.Hokusai was born on September 23, 1760 at Minami Warigesui (Honjo Warigesui, current-day Hokusai-dori St. in Sumida City). Known as Tokitaro, at a young age it is thought that he was adopted by Nakajima Ise, a purveyor of mirrors to the shogunate. He spent his free time drawing, changed his name to Tetsuzo, and joined a woodblock carving workshop. Several years later, he was put in charge of partial carving of text for sharebon, a popular literary genre of the time. Some time after, he quit the carving business and began to study under ukiyo-e artist Katsukawa Shunsho. He spent the next 70 years creating drawings in various genres, living until the ripe old age of 90. Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, a collection of color prints released by Hokusai in his 70s, gained great acclaim, bringing scenic prints into the mainstream.Hokusai began to create fewer woodblock prints, shifting to hand painted works (single pieces). His desire to create continued even after his 80th birthday, resulting in many paintings.Having spent 70 years of his life as an artist, Hokusai worked in nearly every genre, including beautiful women, actors, novel illustrations, ukiyo-e, pornography, scenery, bird's-eye-views, birds and flowers, ghosts, and painting by hand. He called himself the "Mad Artist," a name that underscored his passion for drawing, leaving behind many famous works.Hokusai passed on at the age of 90. Legend has it that on his deathbed he said, "If I could only have lived another 10, no, another 5 years, I'd have been able to create real art."Sumida City follows the Japan Sustainable Tourism Standard for Destinations (JSTS-D).
