April 4: Hokusai

Visited the new Hokusai exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts * with my parents today. A Japanese artist who worked into the mid-1800s, Hokusai is probably best known for his wood block prints, including the famous "Great Wave off Kanagawa." We spent hours at the show and emerged blinking into the fresh air of early spring.

 

Even Prussian blue waterfalls

will fade in time--

this floating world.
