The work delves into the life and artistic contributions of the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, exploring his transition from cultural obscurity to recognition as a pivotal figure in Japanese art. Goncourt’s narrative likely examines Hokusai's techniques, inspirations, and the impact of his work on both Japanese culture and its reception in the Western world. The opening of "Hokousaï" provides a rich introduction to the artist's early life, detailing his origins in Edo (modern Tokyo) and his evolution from a young mirror maker's son to a decorated painter renowned for his innovative styles and diverse subject matter. Goncourt sets the stage by noting Hokusai's numerous name changes throughout his career, symbolizing his constant quest for artistic identity and independence. The text weaves anecdotes about his character and contributions, establishing the groundwork for a comprehensive biography that seeks to reveal not only the artist's techniques and themes but also the societal perceptions and challenges he faced during his lifetime.
