Hokusai art gathers in Shinshu this summer
Katsushika Hokusai is a master who fascinated world-renowned painters such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Gauguin and created the phenomenon of Japonism in Europe.But it is not well known that he is an artist who has a deep connection with Nagano.
We will introduce Hokusai’s painting career through our unique exhibition that focuses on his relationship with Shinano(Nagano Pref),
which Japan boasts of as a ukiyo-e painter recognized by the world.
