    Tsunami Great Wave off Kanagawa Japan by Hokusai Giant Coffee Mug

    Tsunami Great Wave off Kanagawa Japan by Hokusai Giant Coffee Mug

    "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," also known as "Under the Wave off Kanagawa," is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1831, it's part of a series titled "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." The artwork depicts a scene of immense power and contrasting beauty. A colossal wave, its crest foaming and curling inward, threatens to engulf three small boats in a churning sea. In the background, Mount Fuji, an iconic symbol of Japan, stands calm and majestic, dwarfed by the wave's immensity. --- Hokusai's mastery of composition is evident in the way he uses perspective. The wave takes center stage, its dynamic form filling the foreground. The cascading whitecaps and churning water create a sense of awe and drama. Mount Fuji, though a powerful symbol in itself, is relegated to the background. This creates a sense of scale, emphasizing the overwhelming size and power of the wave. The contrast between the wave's raw power and the tiny boats struggling against it evokes a feeling of human vulnerability in the face of nature's might. --- Unveiling the Depths: Meanings Behind the Artwork - The Great Wave off Kanagawa's enduring popularity transcends its visual grandeur. It resonates with viewers because it evokes a depth of meaning. One interpretation centers on the raw power of nature. The wave, the undeniable focal point of the artwork, symbolizes the immense and potentially destructive forces that nature wields. --- However, The Great Wave is not simply a depiction of nature's power. The three small boats battling the wave introduce the theme of humanity and resilience. Despite their vulnerability in the face of the wave's might, their presence suggests the human spirit's ability to struggle and persevere. --- Another layer of meaning emerges from the contrast between the wave and Mount Fuji. While the wave embodies chaos and impermanence, Mount Fuji, a symbol of peace and stability, stands resolute in the background. This juxtaposition may represent the enduring human spirit that finds calmness and grounding even amidst challenges. --- Finally, the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the wave can also be seen as a reflection on the impermanence of life and the world around us. The Great Wave off Kanagawa thus becomes a powerful meditation on nature's power, human resilience, and the fleeting nature of existence. --- Great Wave off Kanagawa is a Yoko-e woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai for the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji collection. This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1927.

    My husband had been complaining that all my coffee mugs were too small. I bought him the jumbo mug for Christmas and he loves it. The cup is made nicely and is not too heavy. The mug came in a box about 3 times the size of it. It was wrapped in several feet of large bubble pack. Thankfully that kept it from any shipping damage. I was a little worried when the heavy clear packing tape was taped right over my image but I was able to slowly peel it away and nothing was damaged. The printing is excellent. I am thrilled to see how clear the image printed. There do not appear to be any defects in the printing. The printing is smooth and seamless on the cup. I love how it turned out.

    This mug will be a Christmas Gift and I think it turned out great! I used Photoshop Elements to edit the photos that I included. The description of the product included a DESIGNER TIP which specified the size in inches of the design space: "this product’s customizable design area measures 4" high x 10.5" wide." This information is greatly appreciated and it is usually missing. Please include the size - in inches - of the design space for all products. It makes my life much nicer!! I am very pleased with the print quality AND the mug itself. Zazzle offers many sizes of mugs, which I appreciate.
