Art Weekend - The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai
One of his best known works, the Great Wave is the first piece in ukiyo-e artist Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. While woodblock prints are traditional in Japanese art, the novel use of Prussian Blue and western-style graphic perspective made this piece popular in both Japan and Europe.
