This print is based on “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” often simply referred to as “The Great Wave”. It’s a woodblock print by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, created around 1830. It is one of the most iconic and recognizable artworks in the world. The print depicts a towering rogue wave, with Mount Fuji in the background, and boats struggling against the immense power of the sea. The contrast between the dynamic energy of the wave and the serene majesty of Mount Fuji encapsulates the tension between man and nature in Japanese culture. Hokusai’s masterful use of composition and line work, along with the vivid blue hues, creates a timeless and evocative image that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
