Hokusai's Great Wave Postcard

Hokusai's Great Wave Postcard

Enjoy this stunning reproduction of the famous ukiyo-e woodblock print "Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji: The Great Wave Off the Coast of Kanagawa" by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji is a series of 46 prints depicting various features of Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan. In this print, indigo blue, a very popular colour at the time, was used for the main outlines to produce a sharp effect. The giant wave with its crest reaching over to Mount Fuji lends the work great depth and creates a sense of drama. Ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, kabuki and the theatre, and pleasure quarters. It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Japan. The Floating World store on Zazzle painstakingly restores these historical treasures to their true colours and fixes basic aging issues while maintaining an antique look.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
