The Great Wave (Under the Wave off Kanagawa)
Katsushika Hokusai
The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai is a famous Japanese woodblock print that shows a huge wave towering over small boats. The wave looks powerful and almost claw-like, making nature seem dangerous and unstoppable. In the background, Mount Fuji appears small and calm, creating a strong contrast with the chaos of the water. This artwork is part of the ukiyo-e tradition and shows how Japanese artists used bold lines, flat colors, and dramatic composition to tell a story. This work is from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji depicting the mountain from various perspectives.
