Bradley Bailey speculated that the odd number of birds in this artist's Manchurian Cranes may be a commentary on monogamy, and his 1812 "A Quick Guide to Painting" focused on finding geometric forms in the visible world.   In 1817, he drew a temple on an 18 meter sheet of paper.  When he had a falling out with a novelist collaborator, Takizawa Bakin, the publisher opted to keep him rather than the novelist.  His Fine Wind, Clear Morning from his thirty-six views of Mount Fuji helped cement his reputation.  For ten points, name this Japense artist of The Grate Wave off Kanagawa.
