The Great Wave off Kanagawa
Hokusai's iconic woodblock print of nature's fury/Art & Sculpture
Katsushika Hokusai created The Great Wave off Kanagawa around 1831 as part of his series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.' The woodblock print measures about 25.7 cm by 37.8 cm and depicts a towering wave threatening boats near Kanagawa, with Mount Fuji in the background. It may be the most reproduced image in all of art history.
