The Story Behind
By Katsushika Hokusai
The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created around 1831, is one of the most iconic works in Japanese art history. This woodblock print, part of the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji," depicts a massive wave threatening fishing boats, with Mount Fuji in the background. The work is a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e style, a form of Japanese printmaking popular during the Edo period. Its dynamic composition, use of Prussian blue, and powerful depiction of nature have made this work a global symbol of Japanese art.
