What is a famous quote from Hokusai?
1 Answer
A famous quote from Hokusai is, “If heaven gives me ten more years, or an extension of even five years, I shall surely become a true artist.” The artist reportedly uttered the words on his deathbed. There is irony in the artist's words, considering that he is arguably one of the most prominent figures in Japanese art, known for works including The Great Wave off Kanagawa; Fine Wind, Clear Morning and The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife.
