Meanwhile, in the life of Katsushika Hokusai
The whole life1804–1815
Illustrating the novels of Takizawa Bakin
Hokusai illustrated books by the popular novelist Takizawa Bakin; the fantasy novel Chinsetsu Yumiharizuki (Strange Tales of the Crescent Moon, 1807–1811), about Minamoto no Tametomo, made him especially famous. After thirteen works the partnership broke up, whether over clashing personalities or over how the illustrations should be drawn.
1814
The first volume of the Hokusai Manga
The first 54-page volume of the Manga, signed Tamekazu, appeared in Edo and Nagoya and sold out within about a week. This diary in drawings — city scenes, people, animals — grew to twelve volumes in the artist's lifetime and is called an “encyclopedia of the Japanese people”.
1820
The name Iitsu and fame throughout Japan
Hokusai changed his name yet again, to Iitsu, opening the period in which he became famous as an artist throughout Japan.
