Hokusai is a big name, of course, famed as the iconic Edo-period ukiyo-e artist. Less well known, however, is that he had some 200 students and students of students. Hokusai does not seem to have been the type to coach his students in great detail, but he did draw out their abilities and train many masterly artists. This exhibition presents a selection from the collection to pair works in which Hokusai and his students depicted the same theme. Comparing them, we can explore each artist’s style and influences on them.

 

Works by Hokusai and his students are categorized by theme into the four sections of the exhibition: The Human Figure, Landscapes, Animals, and Miscellany. In each, visitors can compare works by Hokusai and his students.

Exhibition Highlights

The number of students 200 !?

This exhibition does more than present Hokusai’s genius. It encourages us to think about these students, searching for their own painting styles in the presence of that great master, and introduces fascinating works by his students that until now had been in his shadow. The rivalry between that Hokusai and his students painted is a delight to behold.

 

Let’s Showdown !

“Warrior” 

From Section 1. The Human Figure

 

Hokusai depicted people of all sorts, from ordinary people who were his contemporaries to historical figures. His students studied the shapes of the faces of the people Hokusai depicted, their poses, and other aspects of their master’s style in producing their own work.

M anjirō Hokuga: Hokusai’s Student? Or Gosei’s?

His many extant works are in the Katsushika style, and he is said to have been Hokusai’s student, but since he used the Hokuga name, which had also been used by Hōtei Gosei, some argue that he was Gosei’s student.
