HokusaiT "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is one of the most famous Japanese artworks, created by Katsushika Hokusai in the early 19th century. It is part of his series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji and depicts a massive wave towering over boats with Mount Fuji in the background.

This woodblock print is admired for its dynamic composition and bold colors, using Prussian blue, a newly introduced pigment at the time. The wave’s claw-like curves create a sense of movement and power, contrasting with the calm and distant Fuji.

Symbolically, the artwork represents nature’s immense power compared to human fragility. It also reflects Japan’s relationship with the sea, a vital part of its culture and economy.

Today, The Great Wave is recognized worldwide, influencing Western art and modern design. It remains an iconic image of Japanese ukiyo-e and a masterpiece of global art history.
