HOKUSAI Japanese toilets(10th anniv)

Ukiyo-e artists who brought an innovation to western art in 19th Century. The works of Gogh, Monet, Degas got an influence of “Hokusai”. His description of bold composition and free idea, which he challenged throughout his life, captivated western artists “The great wave off Kanagawa”, still being globally now, is a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e. The creative endeavor of projecting the spirit of Ukiyo-e onto the contemporary space of a toilet became a challenge akin to engaging in a dialogue with Hokusai’s creativity.
