Tsunami Great Wave off Kanagawa Japan by Hokusai Metal Print

Tsunami Great Wave off Kanagawa Japan by Hokusai Metal Print

"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.

This is the 14th metal picture I've made (large format) 20 x16. I love them. They are very light weight and though seem expense to purchase they are cheaper than having it matted and framed. Note one little sticky-wicket. I've had two of these wood frames come unglued and the picture feel to the floor, bending it. This happened about six months into their arrival. Excellent printing and good color
