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”

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.

Hokusai vs Manjirō Hokuga

Manjirō 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.
