Answer:After a year, Hokusai's name changed for the first time, when he was dubbed Shunrō by his master. It was under this name that he published his first prints, a series of pictures of Kabuki actors published in 1779. During the decade he worked in Shunshō's studio, Hokusai was married to his first wife, about whom very little is known except that she died in the early 1790s. He would marry again in 1797, although this second wife also died after a short time. He fathered two sons and three daughters with these two wives, and his youngest daughter Oyei eventually became an artist like her father.

Upon the death of Shunshō in 1793, Hokusai began exploring other styles of art, including European styles he was exposed to through French and Dutch copper engravings he was able to acquire. He was soon expelled from the Katsukawa school by Shunkō, the chief disciple of Shunshō, possibly due to studies at the rival Kanō school. This event was, in his own words, inspirational: "What really motivated the development of my artistic style was the embarrassment I suffered at Shunkō's hands."

Hokusai also changed the subjects of his works, moving away from the images of courtesans and actors that were the traditional subjects of ukiyo-e. Instead, his work became focused on landscapes and images of the daily life of Japanese people from a variety of social levels. This change of subject was a breakthrough in ukiyo-e and in Hokusai's career.

HEIGHT OF HIS CAREER

The next period saw Hokusai's association with the Tawaraya School and the adoption of the name "Tawaraya Sōri." He produced many brush paintings, called surimono, and illustrations for kyōka ehon during this time. In 1798, Hokusai passed his name on to a pupil and set out as an independent artist , free from ties to a school for the first time, adopting the name Hokusai Tomisa.

By 1800, Hokusai was further developing his use of ukiyo-e for purposes other than portraiture. He had also adopted the name he would most widely be known by, Katsushika Hokusai, the former name referring to the part of Edo where he was born and the latter meaning, 'north studio'. That year, he published two collections of landscapes, Famous Sights of the Eastern Capital and Eight Views of Edo. He also began to attract students of his own, eventually teaching 50 pupils over the course of his life.

Hokusai was born in Edo on the 31st of October 1760, and died on May 10, 1849. He was a japenese artist who was a ukiyo-e painter and printmaker. He's known as the author of the woodblock series thirty-six views of Mount Fuji, and the well known print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. He made Thirt-six views as a response to a travel boom and a obsession with Mount Fuji. What brought him fame in Japan and overseas was the Great Wave print, Fine Wind, and Clear Morning. But it was not until his series that he got recognition. His artwork had transformed the ukiyo-e artform which was a style of portraiture which largely focused on courtesans and actors into a form of art that focused on landscapes, plants, and animals. He worked in many fields besides woodblock prints and painting and producing designs for illustartions, including his own educational manga. The manga consists of thousands of images of every subject in over fifteen volumes. He started as a young child and continued working and improving until he passed away at the age of 88. In his years he produced over 30,000 paintings, woodblock prints, sketches, and images for picture books. And he is considered one of the greatest people in art history.
