https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai
Hokusai was born to an artisan family in Edo, Japan and his childhood name was Tokitarō. His father never made Hokusai an heir and it is possible that his mother was a concubine. Hokusai began painting around the age of six. At 12 he went to work in a bookshop and at 14 he also became an apprentice to a wood-carver. At 18 he was also accepted into the studio of Katsukawa Shunshō where he would learn to master the art of ukiyo-e.
