The Metropolitan Museum of Art The Great Wave Bookmark | Office

Katsushika Hokusai (Japanese, 1760–1849) Was Revered For His Landscapes. His Timeless Woodblock Print, Under The Wave Off Kanagawa, Also Known As The Great Wave (Ca. 1830–32), Captures A Formidable, Foaming Breaker Towering Over Tiny Boats Filled With Fishermen Bracing For Impact. Hokusai’S Clever Use Of Perspective Makes Even The Imposing Mount Fuji Appear Comparatively Small. Our Bookmark Shows A Detail Adapted From This Celebrated Work In The Met Collection.
