How did Hokusai's style evolve over time?
My style was never static; it was a perpetual journey of discovery and adaptation. From my early work, influenced by traditional Japanese styles, I began to incorporate elements from Western art, particularly in perspective and shading. I was also deeply inspired by the artistic traditions of China. Through continuous experimentation and a relentless desire to learn, I sought to refine my techniques and express the essence of my subjects with greater clarity and impact, always seeking new ways to render the world.
