Hokusai Book Illustrations from a London Estate - We recently acquired a terrific group of Hokusai's woodblock book illustrations from a London Estate. In addition to his famous "100 Views of Mt. Fuji" series and his 15-volume collection of "Manga," this versatile artist illustrated more than 250 books during his lifetime.
