My first Japanese postcard

The Great Wave of Kanagawa

 

The Great Wave of Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or simple The Wave, is an ukiyo-e print by Japanese artist Hokusai, published sometime between 1830 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. It is Hokusai's most famous work and one of the best recognized works of Japanese art in the world.
