The assailants who died by seppuku were subsequently interred on the grounds of Sengaku-ji, [6] in front of the tomb of their master.

It doesn't matter whether Hokusai's illustrations are corresponding supplements for any of his creations, Your designation of Hokusai as an "artist" is way too general and limiting as it can refer to a practictioner of any art form be it (musician, actor, sculptor, painter, filmmaker, dancer etc. I'd argue that underscoring specificity is not ...
