Sumida Hokusai Museum

The Sumida Hokusai Museum, with its reflective aluminium-clad building, stands out among the wooden homes of Tokyo’s Sumida ward. Dedicated to Hokusai Katsushika, a ukiyo-e woodblock master, the museum celebrates the artist known for his iconic work, The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, part of the Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series. Inside, visitors can explore a collection that delves into Hokusai’s life and art, offering a deeper understanding of his contributions to Japanese culture and the enduring impact of his vivid, detailed prints.
