There is a specific Hokusai museum, but I think this particular image (being a blend of Western and Japanese techniques) is much more popular outside of Japan. There are other great woodblock artists, my personal favourite is Kawase Hasui who was prolific from around 1920 for a few decades. As is with the way of woodblock printing, the named artist is the person that drew/painted the original artwork which was then interpreted by their supporting team of carvers and printmakers and the original is destroyed in the process! Some alternate originals have survived for a handful of Hasui artworks, featuring people or boats in different locations or different colour schemes, but that is not the case for The Great Wave.
