Japan's most famous woodblock print as a large landscape fine art print, set in a deep Prussian blue.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does The Great Wave off Kanagawa show?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff the coast of Kanagawa, near present-day Yokohama, a huge wave closes over three fishing boats. In the distance, between the troughs, Mount Fuji looks small and perfectly still. Katsushika Hokusai designed it around 1831 to open his series \u003ci\u003eThirty-six Views of Mount Fuji\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy is the blue so special?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is Prussian blue, a pigment imported from Europe and still new in Japan at the time. Hokusai made it the color of the sea and of the outlines, which gives the print its depth. The border around the artwork takes up this blue, a shade darker: the wave seems to rise out of the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich impression is this print made from?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a woodblock impression by the Adachi workshop in Tokyo, which recarves and reprints Edo-period prints using the traditional technique. The design is Hokusai's; the paper, carving and colors keep the grain of a real woodblock print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes this fine art print different?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paper, first. A 200 gsm (80 lb) fine art paper, 0.26 mm thick, matte and uncoated: denser than poster paper, with a soft, glare-free surface. It is FSC certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe printing, second: 12 colors instead of the usual 4, to render the gradations of blue and the grain of the Japanese paper. The file is prepared in very high definition: up close, the fibers of the print are still visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere should you hang The Great Wave?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts landscape format stands alone above a sofa, a desk or a headboard. Its blues and soft beige suit light wood, linen and off-white walls. It is also a gift for anyone who loves Japan, the sea or woodblock prints, for Christmas or a birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 x 16 in (60 x 40 cm), landscape, frame not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtwork 20.7 x 14.2 in (53 x 36 cm), set in a Prussian blue border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 gsm fine art paper, matte, uncoated, FSC certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12-color printing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted and shipped from a studio near you: most orders arrive in 5 business days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Heure d'été","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58921147302271,"sku":"a3b15187-17d7-4d70-b74f-d980c37b941e","price":89.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1815\/9743\/files\/la-grande-vague-d-hokusai-en-tirage-fine-art-40x60-encadree-sur-un-mur-texture-l.jpg?v=1792780376","url":"https:\/\/heuredetestudio.com\/en\/products\/hokusai-great-wave-print","provider":"Heure d'été ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
