The Great Wave off Kanagawa is one of the most famous woodblock prints in Japanese history. It was created by Katsushika Hokusai in 1830-1833 and is part of his series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. The print depicts a large, crashing wave threatening three fishing boats off the coast of Kanagawa, Japan. Mount Fuji is visible in the background, providing a sense of perspective and scale. The print is known for its bold composition, dynamic use of lines, and dramatic use of color. The wave is rendered in a swirling, spiral form, and the boats are depicted in a state of turmoil. Mount Fuji stands serenely in the background, providing a contrast to the chaos below.
