Hokusai created his iconic woodblock print, known widely as "The Great Wave," in the early 1830s—yet we still see it all over the world today, nearly 200 years later.

This program is presented in celebration of Chicago Public Library’s city-wide initiative, One Book, One Chicago, and was generously sponsored by the Carol Given Winston Fund.
