About This Design

Great Wave off Kanagawa & Mount Fuji Japan Sea Two-Tone Coffee Mug

Great Wave off Kanagawa & Mount Fuji Japan Sea Two-Tone Coffee Mug

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa," also known as "Under the Wave off Kanagawa," is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1831, it's part of a series titled "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." The artwork depicts a scene of immense power and contrasting beauty. A colossal wave, its crest foaming and curling inward, threatens to engulf three small boats in a churning sea. In the background, Mount Fuji, an iconic symbol of Japan, stands calm and majestic, dwarfed by the wave's immensity. --- Hokusai's mastery of composition is evident in the way he uses perspective. The wave takes centre stage, its dynamic form filling the foreground. The cascading whitecaps and churning water create a sense of awe and drama. Mount Fuji, though a powerful symbol in itself, is relegated to the background. This creates a sense of scale, emphasising the overwhelming size and power of the wave. The contrast between the wave's raw power and the tiny boats struggling against it evokes a feeling of human vulnerability in the face of nature's might. --- Unveiling the Depths: Meanings Behind the Artwork - The Great Wave off Kanagawa's enduring popularity transcends its visual grandeur. It resonates with viewers because it evokes a depth of meaning. One interpretation centres on the raw power of nature. The wave, the undeniable focal point of the artwork, symbolises the immense and potentially destructive forces that nature wields. --- However, The Great Wave is not simply a depiction of nature's power. The three small boats battling the wave introduce the theme of humanity and resilience. Despite their vulnerability in the face of the wave's might, their presence suggests the human spirit's ability to struggle and persevere. --- Another layer of meaning emerges from the contrast between the wave and Mount Fuji. While the wave embodies chaos and impermanence, Mount Fuji, a symbol of peace and stability, stands resolute in the background. This juxtaposition may represent the enduring human spirit that finds calmness and grounding even amidst challenges. --- Finally, the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the wave can also be seen as a reflection on the impermanence of life and the world around us. The Great Wave off Kanagawa thus becomes a powerful meditation on nature's power, human resilience, and the fleeting nature of existence. --- Vintage Japanese woodcut art by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is in public domain.

Great mug which I customised for myself using my photo library. I unfortunately broke the handle of my first mug. As my previous order was kept in history of orders I was able just to reorder without having to customise the mug again, & so was able to order exactly the same mug as a replacement. The customisation turned out exactly as I requested, the prints & colours crisp & clear & true to the originals

I love this mug, I designed it for myself (the only thing wrong is the pink color in the print: it's darker than the preview). The inside color is perfect and also the print has a high quality finissage. colors are a bit Darker, so my pink heart and logo aren't like the preview.
