All the genius of Katsushika Hokusai condensed into one volume—
the long-awaited pocket edition of the legendary bestseller Hokusai Manga!
Two hundred years ago, during the late Edo period, Hokusai Manga (a historical long-selling series of 15 volumes) captivated readers. Now, this masterpiece is re-edited into a three-volume bunko (pocket-sized) edition.
The first volume, titled “One Hundred Views of Edo,” compiles illustrations portraying the people, customs, daily tools, and architecture of Edo life.
This volume maximizes the appeal of Hokusai Manga as a modern-day reference for artists and illustrators, showcasing Hokusai’s humor, storytelling, and innovative visual techniques that foreshadowed modern manga—such as caricature, four-panel sequences, and dynamic narrative expression.
