Join us for our 51st Annual Cohn Lecture to learn about a fascinating book designed by Japanese artist Hokusai in the 1830s, but not published until 1880, that demonstrates his extraordinary powers of composition, unerring sense of line, and ability to offer fresh and exciting visualisations of Chinese texts.
