Description of The Great Wave at Kanagawa , c.1829 Poster Print by Katsushika Hokusai, 36x24

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) changed his name several times to coincide with his changes in artistic styles. Here, The Great Wave at Kanagawa, is part of a 36 piece series originally done as Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Mount Fuji is a centerpiece of great aesthetic and spiritual significance in this print, and a plethora of Hokusais other works. It expresses the mystical interconnection between natures primal beauty, and Mount Fuji, holding the secret of immortality. A study in contrasts, the thundering wave towers over struggling boats and the distant, Zen-like tranquility of the mountain. In a novel interpretation of a traditional theme, Hokusai places Mount Fuji in the background, rather than at the forefront of his work, suggesting that its diminished size does not equate to diminished power.

(said upon his deathbed): If I had another five years, even, I could have become a real painter.
