I can really imagine it transforming into a water dragon! <br />The exhibition looks and sounds fantastic. I Love all the other works you have shown here as well.

The swirling lines in Mount Fuji from the Sea are mesmerizing - especially as the spray changes to plovers. I'm actually in love with Hokusai's final painting showing the dragon rising. To think that he painted it in his 90th year is amazing.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-13076107765512745972012-03-02T03:35:30.810+09:002012-03-02T03:35:30.810+09:00Impressive prints!

What a great lesson: never stop trying, and aim for something truly marvellous at the age of 100! ^^<br /><br />Thanks for this post!Ruroushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10638258526527895171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-71491326142030050462012-03-02T00:09:23.973+09:002012-03-02T00:09:23.973+09:00北斎の作品はもちろんですが、snowwhiteさんのエネルギーもすごいですね。

I think school teachers should use this post as one of their teaching materials. I’ve been charmed by Katushika Hokusai’s shades of blue, and now I’ve learned the color I love most is called “Prussian blue” in English. (I had used “navy blue” to explain the color.) <br /><br />北斎版画の魅力は構図の斬新さや色彩の美しさにとどまらず、想像力をかりたてられることですね。北斎の描く波は龍が泳いでいるように見えます。波から宇宙への解釈が私も好きです。3年ほど前に奈良県立美術館での浮世絵の風景版画展に行きましたが、京都の「北斎展」へはぜひ行ってみたいです。stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-88590146120382712522012-03-01T14:44:50.246+09:002012-03-01T14:44:50.246+09:00I've seen a very interesting HOKUSAI exhibitio...I've seen a very interesting HOKUSAI exhibition in Paris...<br />Really great !!!<br />Best regards from France,<br /><br />PierrePierre BOYERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165681226483890508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501712311386792025.post-53141116021042460272012-03-01T13:10:42.727+09:002012-03-01T13:10:42.727+09:00Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pict...Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful pictures of the Great Wave.
