Katsushika Hokusai

Katsushika Hokusai — a true symbol of Japan.
Over his long and prolific life, the artist changed many names and styles, but his greatest legacy lies in the art of ukiyo-e — “pictures of the floating world.”

In this lecture, we will dive into the mysterious world of Japanese painting, explore the versatility of Hokusai, and discuss his influence on global art.
We’ll also find out why he changed his name so often — and which of his artworks is always in your pocket!

The lecture will be given by Liana Lashkhia, art historian and independent researcher.
