The Complete Life and Art of Hokusai

Podcast: Two Aliens

In this episode, we dive into the world of Katsushika Hokusai, the legendary Japanese artist whose vision reshaped global art history. Best known for The Great Wave off Kanagawa, Hokusai’s work extends far beyond the iconic print — spanning landscapes, mythology, daily life, and a restless creative spirit that lasted well into his 80s.

We explore:

• His humble beginnings in Edo-era Japan and early artistic training
• The evolution of his style across dozens of pseudonyms and creative phases
• How The Great Wave became one of the most recognisable artworks in the world
• His influence on Impressionists, modern art, and global visual culture
• The personal obsessions, humour, and spiritual depth behind his creations
• How an artist who called himself “the old man mad about art” revolutionised the way we see nature and humanity

A portrait of a visionary whose brushstrokes have echoed across centuries — proving that true artistic genius never fades.
