Katsushika Hokusai

"Crazy about Painting"

Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai, born in today's city of Tokyo, achieved worldwide fame with the series „Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji“. His most well-known works of art in this series is “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. During his lifetime of almost 90 years, Hokusai changed his name about 30 times, such as for example "Gakyojin", which translates into "Crazy about Painting". In his homeland Japan, his artwork was rather considered as "commercial art", whereas in Europe artists like Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt were inspired by his beautiful paintings. Furthermore, Hokusai unconsciously influenced the Art Nouveau movement.

Decorative discs of porcelain seem to be freely floating on a wooden base. Designer objects add a fabulous appearance to the depicted famous paintings by Hokusai. The disc-shaped vases are beautiful eye-catchers in any living ambiance and can be decorated with or without flower arrangements!
