Add to basketThe catalogue of the most comprehensive exhibition ever held in Italy, at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, dedicated to Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), a supreme master of Japanese art and a key figure in global visual culture. The exhibition is part of the official programme of celebrations marking the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan, sealing a deep and enduring cultural dialogue between two artistic traditions that continue to influence and enrich one another. Through a broad and multifaceted journey, the catalogue - curated by Beata Romanowicz - guides the reader in discovering not only the celebrated Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, including the iconic The Great Wave off Kanagawa, but also an extraordinary selection of woodblock prints, illustrated books, and rare objects from the prestigious collection of the National Museum in Kraków, one of Europe's most important collections, which includes remarkable examples of Japanese art, particularly from the Edo period (1603-1863). The reader is led into the refined universe of Ukiyo-e, the "Floating World," where nature, the movement of water, landscapes, female figures, and the life of the Japanese people become protagonists of a poetic and surprisingly modern vision. The volume explores the work of an artist who profoundly influenced the Western imagination, inspiring Monet, Van Gogh, and the entire Impressionist movement.

Il catalogo della pił completa mostra mai dedicata in Italia a Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), maestro assoluto dell'arte giapponese e figura chiave della cultura visiva mondiale. L'esposizione si inserisce nel programma ufficiale per i 160 anni di relazioni diplomatiche tra Italia e Giappone, suggellando un dialogo culturale profondo e duraturo tra due tradizioni artistiche che continuano a influenzarsi e arricchirsi reciprocamente. Attraverso un percorso ampio e articolato, il catalogo - curato da Beata Romanowicz - conduce il lettore alla scoperta non solo delle celeberrime Trentasei vedute del monte Fuji, con l'iconica Grande Onda di Kanagawa, ma anche di una selezione straordinaria di xilografie, libri illustrati e oggetti rari, provenienti dalla prestigiosa collezione del Museo Nazionale di Cracovia, una delle pił importanti collezioni europee che comprende esempi straordinari di arte giapponese, in particolare del periodo Edo. Il lettore sarą accompagnato all’interno dell’universo raffinato dell’Ukiyo-e, il "Mondo Fluttuante", dove la natura, il movimento dell’acqua, il paesaggio, le figure femminili e la vita del popolo giapponese diventano protagonisti di una visione poetica e sorprendentemente moderna. Il volume racconta l’opera di un artista che ha profondamente influenzato l’immaginario occidentale.
