The Floating World of Hokusai

Author Audrey Niffenegger explores the life of the Japanese painter, Hokusai - creator of the 'Great Wave'. From 2012.

Author Audrey Niffenegger catches Hokusai's 'Great Wave' to trace the ripple effect of the self-proclaimed 'Old Man Mad About Painting'.

Frenetic, eccentric and possessed by his talent, Hokusai's words and images have caught the imagination of a new generation of artists and thinkers, 200-years after his earliest successes.

Presenter: Audrey Niffenegger

Producer: Victoria McArthur
