Hokusai’s Ukiyo-e Japanese-style waterfall wall art refers to the distinct artistic tradition of Ukiyo-e, which means "pictures of the floating world." Ukiyo-e was a genre of art popular in Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868), and it often depicted landscapes, scenes from history, folklore, kabuki actors, and beautiful women. Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was one of the most famous Ukiyo-e artists, celebrated for his intricate woodblock prints and paintings.

Hokusai’s waterfall landscapes are particularly iconic for their detailed depiction of natural scenes, featuring dynamic, flowing water and steep cliffs. His work emphasizes nature’s power and beauty, often framing waterfalls as the focal point of serene yet powerful compositions.
