About the artwork
A digitally restored and cleaned version of "the great wave of Kanagawa" one of the most famous works of art ever made in Japan.
Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura is a woodcut (ukiyo-e) by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. It is the first piece of the Thirty-six faces on Mount Fuji and Hokusai's most famous work. He published it in 1832.
The work of art shows several boats trying to sail on a sea of giant waves. The largest wave threatens to crush the rowers. In this wave a monster with claws can be seen and it represents the power of nature but also the power of the oarsmen. Possibly this wave must represent a tsunami, but given its shape it is not. The area around Kanagawa (on the bay of Tokyo) was destroyed by such a tsunami in the 15th century.
In the background is Mount Fuji, which appears in all 36 works of art. The mountain may also have been depicted in the wave in the foreground.
