A wonderful series of posts by Debra of "She Who Seeks". "The Great Wave" is one of those iconic images that has survived the test of time. Debra offers an interesting collection work that honors that imagery.
"The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai’s series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. I was fortunate enough to see an original print of The Great Wave at the Japan Ukiyo-e Museum located near Matsumoto when we were there in 2012."
Thank you, Debra!
