Tuttle Studio draws inspiration from the modern and traditional
arts of Asia to create designs for its lines of journals,
stationery, gift wrapping products and origami paper. It is a
division of Tuttle Publishing, a leading publisher of books on the
languages, history, art and cultures of Asia. The company was
founded in 1832 in Rutland, Vermont (USA) and opened a branch in
Tokyo, Japan in 1948.
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was an influential artist and
printmaker. Born in Edo (modern day Tokyo), he displayed artistic
talent from a young age, and at 19 formally joined the studio of
ukiyo-e artist Katsukawa Shunsho. In addition to his famous
woodblock prints--the most famous of which is The Great Wave off
Kanagawa (1830-32)--he also illustrated board games, drawing
instruction books, paper lanterns and dioramas. Hokusai produced
more than 30,000 works in his long career, and greatly influenced
the impressionist painters of the nineteenth century; Monet
acquired 23 of his pieces, while Degas cited Hokusai as the
inspiration behind his sketches of the human form.
