The "December market" was by the Cathedral, St Stephan Dom.
Christmas markets became a tradition in German speaking lands and ushered in the four...

Europe has many wonderful old traditions, and one of them is the Christmas market.
The December market in Vienna is recorded since 1298, but Innsbruck was actually founded as a market in a field already in 1133 and it could be argued that the December market here would be even older.
The wonderful Tyrolian atmosphere makes this a must for anyone enjoying the Christmas markets.

Hokusai is no doubt Japan's most famous artist.
Hokusai was not only a truly great artist.

Hokusai conveyed the beauty of majesty, the mount Fujijama, in life.

Hokusai's 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō 1801 is something completely different! It is his first.
It is different from his famous 36 Views of Mt Fuji, which are sublime artistic expressions distilling a long life's work.
It is different from much of Hokusai's other well known work, like his 100 Views of Mt Fuji. But in that series Hokusai still retained a lot of the humor and the caricature found here.
It is different from the many other well known...
