About The Great Wave off Kanagawa
"The Great Wave off Kanagawa," a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai and one of the world's most iconic pieces of Asian art. It was the first in his series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," a virtuosic study of Japan's highest and most revered mountain. A massive wave threatens to engulf three fishing boats, its foam crown extending like claws, menacing the rowers below. It's an epic scene of human struggle and natural terror that dwarfs the sacred Mount Fuji just behind it.
