The Great Wave (ca. 1830–32)
By Katsushika Hokusai

Medium: Woodblock print; ink and color on paper

Hokusai cleverly played with perspective to make Japan’s grandest mountain appear as a small triangular mound within the hollow of the cresting wave. The artist became famous for his landscapes created using a palette of indigo and imported Prussian blue.

The Great Wave, also known as Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei)
