Katsushika Hokusai The Great Wave Off Kanagawa Woodblock Print by Adachi Hanga Description About This Items Loved and admired around the world — Japan’s pride, “The Great Wave.” Katsushika Hokusai is one of Japan’s most celebrated ukiyo-e masters, and among his many works, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” is considered his masterpiece. With its powerful depiction of a towering wave and the tranquil Mount Fuji in the background, the print astonished viewers with its bold composition and intricate detail. Known internationally as “The Great Wave,” this artwork has inspired countless artists and creators — even composer Claude Debussy, who is said to have drawn inspiration from it for his symphonic work “La Mer.” In recent years, the piece continues to captivate audiences at exhibitions worldwide and has been chosen as the design for Japan’s new 1,000-yen banknote issued in July 2024. In March 2023, a print of The Great Wave sold at Christie’s New York for a record-breaking $2.76 million (approx. ¥360 million) — the highest auction price ever achieved for a Japanese woodblock print, proving its enduring global acclaim.
