Hokusai had produced work right up until his death at the age of 90, and this exhibition will give viewers insight to the last 30 years of his life, where some of his most popular works have come from. The exhibition will also include prints, paintings, illustrated books that depict his imagination and artistic journey that was filled with flora and fauna and supernatural creatures.
