"The "Great Wave Off Kanagawa" from his works entitled Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (1830-1834) by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is the most captivating simple color woodblock print. The original is kept in the Honolulu Academy of Arts, a gift from James MIchener in 1955. Can't afford any of his work, but have some cards like this. Love the Pop-Ups take on his woodblock prints!" - Amazon Customer Reviews

The iconic art of Japanese artist Hokusai, from great waves to waterfalls and mountains, reimagined in dramatic 3-D pop-ups Katsushika Hokusai was a Japanese artist born in 1760 whose legacy remains, some 150 years after his death, as important as ever. His work influenced Impressionism and Art Nouveau, and a range of contemporary artists working today. Realized in jewel-like colors, Hokusai’s simple views of everyday scenes in Japan, his sense of balance and harmony, and his highly stylized but ever-changing techniques seem to capture the spirit and traditions of his homeland. Hokusai Pop-Ups brings this stunning art to life. Noted works such as Ejiri in Suruga Province , Chrysanthemums and Horsefly , Phoenix , Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain in Shimotsuke , The Poem of Ariwara no Narihira , and the iconic, instantly recognizable The Great Wave are accompanied by explanatory text as well as complementary quotes from writers and artists such as Degas and Van Gogh. 6 pop-ups, plus 5 illustrations
