Learn about The Great Wave (Under the Wave off Kanagawa)

Written By Caleb

It’s estimated that 8000 copies of The Great Wave were produced. Since they’re woodblock prints they vary in quality and color. Between 100-200 survive to this day.

More on Katsushika Hokusai’s work (and the version of the image we used) on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s website.
