Katsushika Hokusai, Under the Wave, off Kanagawa (The Great Wave), Metal Bookmark
This is perhaps the single most famous of Hokusai's woodblock prints - perhaps of all Japanese prints. It belongs to the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'. The graceful snow-clad mountain stands out unperturbed against the deep blue of the horizon.
This is perhaps the single most famous of Hokusai's woodblock prints - perhaps of all Japanese prints. It belongs to the series 'Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji'. The graceful snow-clad mountain stands out unperturbed against the deep blue of the horizon. Yet it is reduced to a tiny hillock compared with the towering strength of the wave which threatens to engulf the struggling boats. Such clever, playful manipulation of the composition is a feature of many of Hokusai's works.
Featuring a detail from the famous print, this sturdy metal bookmark is a uniquely stylish way to keep your page.
