Description

A handy notebook for those who love Japanese art or just all things ‘Japan’. Great as a gift or a treat for yourself.

Artwork: A high resolution print of ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa’ by Hokusai wrapped around the front and back covers.

  • Cover: Tough matte paperback.
  • Dimensions: 20.3×12.7 cm / 8×5 inches. (A touch smaller than A5 but much bigger than A6 – it fits easily in a bag but not in a pocket.)
  • Interior: 74 pages of white paper, all wide-ruled with 23 lines to a page.

The Great Wave is perhaps the single most famous of Hokusai's woodblock prints – perhaps of all Japanese prints. It belongs to the series ‘Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji’ (Fugaku sanjūrokkei). The graceful snow-clad mountain stands out unperturbed against the deep blue of the horizon. Yet it is reduced to a tiny hillock compared with the towering strength of the wave which threatens to engulf the struggling boats. Such clever, playful manipulation of the composition is a feature of many of Hokusai's works.
