THE ARTIST: KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI 1760-1849: Hokusai was Japan's most famous Edo period illustrator of Japanese genre landscape scenery and of the daily lives and occupations of the commoners. His works are full of cheerfulness humor optimism and he had a knack of capturing the true nature of his time people and life style. He was affectionately called the "MAD MAN ON DRAWING" by the Japanese. His works continue to fascinate the world over ! . THE VARIANT EDITIONS: We have become aware of the fact that there is a strong possibility that each of the two variant copies may have slightly different plates. For example the current copy in hand does not have plates 212 nor 214 as cited in Hillier above. One needs to have the luxury of having both variants on their desk and compare page by page to note actual and complete differences. Our copy is consecutively numbered per Kerlen and so we know that it is complete but a variant to what Hillier saw in one of the museums cited on his "Acknowledgement" page.

This genre was called the "Toshisen" and done in the final decade of Hokusai's artistic life 1840-1849. There are two versions of the First Edition relating to the first illustration opposite the title page: a. Sumi-zuri or black and white uncolored plate. b. Saishiki or colored version. The Saishiki type was strictly a made-to-order version for wealthy merchants; the Sumi-zuri being the more common of the two variants. H.
