We recently visited the Grand Master Hokusai's Exhibition of Ukiyo-e Classics, the Manga Hokusai Manga Art Show with Contemporary Creatives of Celebrated Manga Artists, held at the AMA in Ahmedabad, India. The exhibition showcased a wide range of Hokusai's works, from his well-known "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji" series to his lesser-known manga pieces.

The exhibition was notable for its presentation of Hokusai's works alongside those of contemporary manga artists, providing a fascinating contrast between traditional ukiyo-e art and modern manga. The sections where Hokusai's works were reinterpreted by contemporary artists were particularly impactful.

Overall, the exhibition offered a unique and memorable look at Hokusai's works and their influence on contemporary manga. The blending of traditional and contemporary art was a highlight.

When considering whether to buy yet another book, you might well ask yourself when you'll get around to reading it. But perhaps there are other, even more important considerations, such as the intellectual value of the book in its still-unread state.
