Thanks for posting the Hokusai dragons.
I enjoy Hokusai's work, and I especially like the dragon ascending Fuji motif. I noticed you made reference to the Hokusai exhibit at the Sackler gallery in Washington during March, I have to work every weekend but I am going to try and get there.
in the ink,
dragons ascending Fuji,

Hokusai and the wave that swept the world
Jason Farago
In the beginning was the wave. The blue and white tsunami, ascending from the left of the composition like a massive claw, descends pitilessly on Mount Fuji – the most august mountain in Japan, turned in Katsushika Hokusai’s vision into a small and vulnerable hillock. Under the Wave off Kanagawa, one of Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, has been an icon of Japan since the print was first struck in 1830–31, yet it forms part of a complex global network of art, commerce, and politics. Its intense blue comes from Hokusai’s pioneering use of Prussian Blue ink – a foreign pigment, imported, probably via China, from England or Germany. The wave, from the beginning, stretched beyond Japan. Soon, it would crash over Europe.
This week the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, home to the greatest collection of Japanese art outside Japan, opens a giant retrospective of the art of Hokusai, showcasing his indispensible woodblock prints of the genre we call ukiyo-e, or ‘images of the floating world’. It’s the second Hokusai retrospective in under a year; last autumn, the wait to see the artist’s two-part mega-show at the Grand Palais in Paris stretched to two hours or more. American and French audiences adore Hokusai – and have for centuries. He is, after all, not only one of the great figures of Japanese art, but a father figure of much of Western modernism. Without Hokusai, there might have been no Impressionism – and the global art world we today take for granted might look very different indeed.

[PMJS] Tracing "manga" back historically

Miriam Wattles wrote:
Crucially, I would argue that “manga” goes beyond the sequential narratives known as ストーリー漫画 (or “story manga”). The word manga has been and still is used for one-panel comics, which are not sequential in any ordinary sense. That Adam Kern (following Natsume Furunosuke) makes the argument that the “yellow-backed” illustrated fiction (kibyôshi) were a precursor of today’s manga depends on understanding manga to be “sequential art.” To me, only considering it as sequential and as a narrative diminishes the creative potential of manga. Manga in the late Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa came to include narratives (story manga) by the Taisho period, but it was so much more, comparable to the creative potential being realized in today’s graphica.
As Prof. Steiner points out in his essay, a number of terms overlapped and competed with manga in the Edo period: kyôga, giga, Toba-e, soga, rakuga, etc. I have worked extensively on Hanabusa Itchô, someone lauded from the Edo period through to Taisho for being the father of giga, and so spent some time excavating “giga” as a genre of the Edo period. (Discused in my book, The Life and Afterlives of Hanabusa Itchô, 2013, and in my essay “From Adverb to Noun: Some Thoughts on Hanabusa Itchô and the Instability of the ‘Giga’ Genre” in Ota Shôko, ed, Edo no shuppan bunka kara hajimatta imeeji kakumei,” 2007)
