[Dialogue] Other World Roots & Archive Jewels

[Jean Long]

I have a calendar from the Art Institute of Chicago 1996.  It contains 12
copies of  woodblocks by HOKUSAI.  The Great Wave picture is from the Thirty
Six Views of Mt Fuji by Hokusai.  I believe the Land, River and Mountain
also come from that series.

Good searching,
Jean Long in Denver
