Reisalbum van Hokusai c. 1835 - 1878

This is the cover of *Reisalbum van Hokusai*, a travel journal compiled between 1835 and 1878 by the famed Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Though Hokusai passed away in 1849, this book exemplifies his lasting influence on Japanese art, particularly Ukiyo-e woodblock prints. The cover is a simple, yet elegant design, with the title written in black ink on an orange background. The journal contains a variety of sketches and writings from Hokusai's travels throughout Japan, offering a glimpse into the artistic mind of one of the most celebrated artists of his time. *Reisalbum van Hokusai* is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
