Katsushika Hokusai (葛飾北斎) (31. oktober 176010. maj 1849) var en japansk maler, kunstner, trykker og ukiyo-eskaber i Edo-perioden. Han blev født i Edo (nu Tokyo). Han er forfatter til 13-bindsværket Hokusai manga (påbegyndt i 1814) og bogen med trætryk 36 landskaber med Fuji, (skabt omkring 1823-1829), som inkluderer Bag den store bølge ved Kanagawa.

Hokusai er også kendt for sine erotiske tryk i shungastil. Mange af trykkene skabt af Hokusai og Sharaku var faktisk reklamer for bordeller og teatre eller idolportrætter af skuespillere og piger fra tehuse.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa.jpg
Modern recut copy of The Great Wave off Kanagawa (
神奈川沖波裏
), from 36 Views of Mount Fuji, Color woodcut. Although it is often used in tsunami literature, there is no reason to suspect that Hokusai intended it to be interpreted in that way. The waves in this work are sometimes mistakenly referred to as tsunami (
津波
), but they are more accurately called okinami (
沖波
), great off-shore waves.
