The painting titled Ukiyo-e "Manga" by Katsushika Hokusai exemplifies his revolutionary approach to Japanese art during the Edo period. Originally renowned as a master of portraiture of courtesans and actors, Hokusai expanded ukiyo-e into landscapes, plants, and animals, enriching its cultural scope. "Manga" reflects his dedication to sketch and study as a foundation for his detailed compositions. His innovative style profoundly influenced Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet, sparking the wave of Japonisme that reshaped European perceptions of Asian art.
