Hokusai and Hiroshige: The Mount Fuji Challenges,
from Edo-Tokyo Museum collection

Hokusai Katsushika's Fugaku Sanjurokkei (Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji) had an strong impact on people with its vivid colours and bold composition. How did Hiroshige go on to develop his own style in the shadow of Hokusai's huge success? This exhibition introduces the relentless challenges of Hokusai and Hiroshige - two of the greatest landscape painters of all time, through an invaluable collection from the Edo-Tokyo Museum.
