Katsushika Hokusai (1760—1849), was a Japanese artist, ukiyo-e painter and printmaker of the Edo period . In his time he was Japan's leading expert on Chinese painting. Born in Edo (now Tokyo), Hokusai is best-known as author of the woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, (c. 1831), which includes the iconic and internationally recognized print, The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
Hokusai is considered one of the outstanding figures of Japanese woodblock printing, sometimes referred to as ukiyo-e.
I find this to be an exceptionally striking image. Many do, it is rightfully famous.

To make it R&S legit: is there as much proof for god as there is for pixies?
