Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) changed his name several times to coincide with his changes in artistic styles. Here, The Great Wave at Kanagawa, is part of a 36 piece series originally done as Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Mount Fuji is a centerpiece of great aesthetic and spiritual significance in this print, and a plethora of Hokusais other works. It expresses the mystical interconnection between natures primal beauty, and Mount Fuji, holding the secret of immortality. A study in contrasts, the thundering wave towers over struggling boats and the distant, Zen-like tranquility of the mountain. In a novel interpretation of a traditional theme, Hokusai places Mount Fuji in the background, rather than at the forefront of his work, suggesting that its diminished size does not equate to diminished power.
