The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City presents a sweeping exhibition that details the enormous impact of Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760-1869) on the art world.

Hokusai: Waves of Inspiration from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston takes a new approach by focusing on his role as student, teacher, and influencer. The exhibition opens Sept. 21 and runs through Jan. 5, 2025.
