His influence spread through Impressionism, Art Nouveau, and beyond, enrapturing the likes of Claude Monet, Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Vincent van Gogh.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eHokusai was always a man on the move. He changed domicile more than 90 times during his lifetime and changed his own name through over 30 pseudonyms. In his art, he adopted the same restlessness, covering the complete spectrum of Japanese \u003ci\u003eukiyo\u003c\/i\u003e-\u003ci\u003ee\u003c\/i\u003e,“pictures of the floating world”, from single-sheet prints of landscapes and actors to erotic books. In addition, he created album prints, illustrations for verse anthologies and historical novels, and \u003ci\u003esurimono\u003c\/i\u003e, which were privately issued prints for special occasions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eHokusai’s print series \u003ci\u003eThirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, \u003c\/i\u003epublished between \u003ci\u003ec\u003c\/i\u003e. 1830 and 1834 is the artist’s most renowned work and, with its soaring peak through different seasons and from different vantage points, marked the towering summit of the Japanese landscape print.
