Thanks to the, quite frankly, overwhelming number of requests to see more of the Hokusai drawings from 'The Great Picture Book of Everything', we've put together a tour of more of Hokusai's drawings!

Prepare yourself for mythical birds, mythical landscapes, the mythical origins of alcohol and some very real masterpieces from the hand of the great Japanese artist, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849).

If you'd like to buy Tim Clark's book on the drawings, you can get it here: bit.ly/3CiiKBj

And if you can make it to London, grab a ticket for the exhibition here: bit.ly/3lxs0L3

You can explore any and all of the British Museum's Hokusai prints on the Museum website here: britishmuseum.org/collection

Content Warning:

Does not contain anatomically questionable elephants, or Hokusai's favourite duck.

Double Content Warning:

Does contain anatomically questionable tigers, and just a glorious amount of Hokusai!
