Wave Bangle

This print is by far the most famous image in all of Japanese art in the eyes of the world. The majestic curve of the towering wave has inspired hundreds if not thousands of later artists. No other single image so evokes the beauty and terror of nature. The glimpse of the great mountain beyond the curve of the wave is both the perfect finishing touch to the composition and a symbol of hope that the boats will come through safely.Adapted from Katsushika Hokusai's woodblock print series
