If you're interested in these prints, David Bull [1] is a really great resource on YT, in terms of exploring how these were made and lots of history on specific pieces.

He does a whole series on the Great Wave. It was interesting to learn that it's essentially impossible to know if a given impression is "original" as it was widely copied in Hokusai's own lifetime. He compares copies from various museum collections, and finds many of them come from different block-sets.
