北井昭一是一位杰出的艺术家、浮世绘画家和版画家，以他的木版印刷系列《三十六景富士山》而闻名。这些版画在日本和海外都很有名，并在世界艺术界留下了永久的形象。
北斋从6岁开始绘画，到18岁时，他进入了Katsukawa Shunsho学校，在那里他专攻木版画和绘画。顺顺去世后，北斋被竞争对手开除了，这是他后来将其创作发展和艺术发展归功于耻辱的经历。他开始画日常生活的风景和图像。他最终脱离了所有其他画派，开始教其他学生，一生中超过五十。据说，88岁那年，在他临终时，他大声疾呼，为了成为一个真正的画家，他只需要再活五年。

Katsushika Hokusai was a brilliant artist, ukiyo-e painter and print maker, best known for his wood block print series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, which contain the prints The Great Wave and Fuji in Clear Weather. These prints are famous both in Japan and overseas, and have left a lasting image in the worldwide art world.
Hokusai began painting at the age of six, and by 18 he had been accepted into the Katsukawa Shunsho school, in which he specialized in wood-block prints and painting. After Shunsho’s death, Hokusai was expelled from the school by a rival, a humiliating experience which he later credited to his created development and artistic growth. He began painting landscapes and images of daily life. He eventually broke from all other schools of painting and began teaching other students, over fifty in his lifetime.
At the age of 88, on his deathbed, it is said that he exclaimed that he needed only five more years of life, in order to become a real painter.
