Promoting Public Domain
ChatPressJapan is dedicated to promoting public domain masterpieces. Public domain refers to works that, depending on the country, have generally been around for over 100 years, causing their copyrights to expire. This makes them free for anyone to use, including for commercial purposes. These masterpieces are more than just art; they have the power to deeply move people and enrich their lives.
The Impact of Great Art and Connection Through It
Great art has the ability to move people emotionally, thanks to its beauty and profound messages. The power of art transcends language and cultural barriers, offering people worldwide a chance to share common feelings and values. This shared understanding is essential for a smooth and harmonious global society. Through art, people from different backgrounds can better understand and respect each other, laying the foundation for a peaceful and cooperative world.
Promoting these masterpieces isn’t just about preserving our heritage; it’s also about enriching our lives today and fostering connections between people. ChatPressJapan aims to harness the power of art to build these connections and create a more united future.
Using ChatGPT to Promote Public Domain
ChatGPT plays an essential role in ChatPressJapan’s mission. This technology helps us extract necessary information from vast historical records and present it in a clear and engaging way. Without this technology, projects like this book wouldn’t have been possible.
To bring more public domain masterpieces to people, ChatPressJapan will continue to use the power of ChatGPT to create valuable content. For our first project, we’ve chosen the works of Katsushika Hokusai, a Japanese master whose art is highly regarded worldwide.
The Appeal and Global Recognition of Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai was an ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period, and his works are highly valued both in Japan and around the world. His famous series, “Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji,” focuses on Mount Fuji and includes the well-known “The Great Wave off Kanagawa.” Hokusai’s works are not just visually stunning; they showcase his unique perspective and advanced techniques, influencing countless artists.
Hokusai was internationally recognized even during his lifetime, and he played a significant role in the Japonisme movement that swept through Europe in the late 19th century. His works greatly influenced Impressionist painters like Van Gogh and Monet, and his art continues to be featured in museums worldwide. Additionally, Hokusai’s work has inspired modern design and pop culture.
Why We Chose Hokusai
ChatPressJapan selected Hokusai as the focus of our first project because of his incredible appeal and international recognition. His works have transcended time and culture, continuing to be loved by many. Sharing the artistic value of his works aligns with our mission and is a crucial step in passing on this legacy to future generations.
Through this book, I hope readers will rediscover the charm of Hokusai and gain a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural value of his works. I also hope that you will support ChatPressJapan as we continue to promote public domain masterpieces. At the end of this book, you’ll find an introduction to the Hokusai series featured in Volumes 2 through 11, with many of the key works included. Our goal is that you enjoy exploring Hokusai’s art in depth through all 11 volumes of the series.
