Analysis Of Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave

From 1820 to 1832 he created the landscapes and "bird and flower" prints which are considered by many as his greatest works. Hokusai had done landscapes before but in 1823 he started his series on the 36 views of Mt. Fuji.

Thus, setting up ‘interment camps’ to hold the Japanese for the duration of the war. Mr. Korematsu did not follow suit and decided to stay home in the state of California.
