The Great Wave off Kanagawa — Katsushika Hokusai
Katsushika Hokusai, ca. 1830–32. Hokusai, around 1831. Probably the most reproduced image in the world, and still better than its reputation — Fuji is the small quiet triangle behind the claw of water.
Blue and white, graphic, wide. Works next to almost anything.
What arrives
- Printed on canvas and set in a wooden frame — not a poster, not paper behind glass.
- Made to order after you buy it, then shipped worldwide. Nothing sits in a warehouse fading.
- Three sizes, from a piece that suits a hallway to one that takes a wall.
About the image
- Reproduced from the museum's own high-resolution scan of the original painting — not a photograph of a poster.
- Original held by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The Howard Mansfield Collection, Purchase, Rogers Fund, 1936
- Public domain. Free to reproduce, which is the only reason a canvas like this can cost what it does.
Good to know
Screens are backlit and canvas is not. Colours read slightly deeper and softer on the wall than they do here — that is true of every print ever sold, and it is usually an improvement. Sizes are the framed dimensions. This painting is wider than it is tall, and the sizes below match its proportions almost exactly.
Finish the wall
Four paintings of people in water that does not care about them. They share the same proportions, so they take the same frame size and hang in a clean row.
