Hokusai

Hokusai – that’s not one of those cool Japanese words or concepts that sometimes find their way to us like shinrin yoku or ikigai. Hokusai is the name of a Japanese artist and painter who lived from 1760 to. 1849. He painted the famous Tsunami wave I used as a theme picture for my blog entry “Second wave – second visa“.

And now I found out, that he has been buried just around the corner from where I live. Small world :-)

  Entering from the street, this sign shows the way to Hokusai’s grave

  You have to walk a narrow pathway around this house…

  … and continue alongside the wall.

  At the entrance of the cemetery, they keep the typical maintenance utensils.

  That’s his tomb. The little “house”.
