    Kawanabe Kyosai is considered the greatest successor of Hokusai (of whom he was ‘not’ a student). Unruly as his temperament suggests, he possessed the dignity, power, and restraint of Hokusai, with an exuberance for the fantastic and an unrivaled command of drawing. Drawn with lively, calligraphic brushwork enhanced with soft color. Kyosai depicted what appealed to him as an artist, capturing the beauty and humor of the world around.
