In late June, the Florence Griswold Museum sponsored a trip to the MFA in Boston for the Hokusai exhibition. Although I was unfamiliar with Hokusai's work and not sure how interested I was in Japanese printing making in general, one can not pass up the opportunity to go to Boston and learn about a new artist and art form. My willingness to go outside the box was rewarded. The exhibition included more than 200 work from the MFA's collection by Katsushika Hokusai including the iconic Great Wave. I now know why the art world is so enthusiastic about the work of Hokusai.
