★日本浮世繪大師葛飾北齋的作品《北齋漫畫》，由全球最佳藝術類出版社之一的Thames & Hudson重新出版囉！
葛飾北齋(1760-1849)，日本江戶時代的浮世繪畫家暨版畫家，出生於東京，最著名的作品系列為《地嶽三十六景》，其中〈凱風快晴〉與〈神奈川衝浪裏〉兩幅畫，更成為日本浮世繪的代名詞。
1814年，葛飾北齋在54歲出版了他的知名作品《Hokusai Manga》（北齋漫畫），原本只是作為給學徒參考的圖畫集，沒想到卻成為暢銷書。這三本一套的盒裝書，廣泛選錄了1814年的素描畫，呈現北齋藝術中的各種主題、圖案與素描的技巧；而這些諷刺漫畫、多格插圖、以及描述式繪畫，都可以視為現代漫畫的基礎。
三冊內容分述如下：
第一冊：探索江戶時代庶民的日常生活與舉止、各種習慣與各種事物──從建築特色到摔角的招式與面部表情。
第二冊：世界萬物──主要的關注對象從動物，到岩石的表面肌理…等等自然世界。
第三冊：奇幻、神秘與超自然──包含神話故事與奇幻生物等。
In 1814, the great Japanese artist and printmaker Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) published the first volume of a handbook of his sketches: Hokusai Manga. Originally designed as a reference for his students to emulate, it surpassed all expectations and became a bestseller, eventually expanding to 15 volumes and over 4,000 images.
This three-volume edition is an extensive selection of Hokusai’s sketches, which present all the themes, motifs and techniques found in his art. Although they are not based around an ongoing narrative, the caricatures, satirical drawings and multi-panel illustrations can clearly be seen as a forerunner of manga as it is understood today.
Volume 1 explores Edo Life, the everyday world of the city that would later become Tokyo, featuring people from all walks of life at work and at play. Volume 2 is devoted to The Wonders of Nature, including animals, birds and fish as well as landscapes, weather and scenes of natural beauty. Finally, volume 3, Flights of Fancy, is packed with mythical creatures, supernatural beings and all sorts of weird and wonderful imagery from the master’s imagination. This collection has enchanted and inspired artists and art-lovers for two centuries and is now ripe for rediscovery.
