The Great Wave off Kanagawa: Hokusai’s most famous painting finally at LEGO
Everyone has already seen this work at least once. This woodcut is so famous that it has even inspired the logo of some brands. Part of the collection of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, the Great Wave off Kanagawa left its mark on people’s minds with its details.
By depicting the mountain in the distance, Hokusai, the artist, succeeded in transforming a scene of daily life in Tokyo at the time into a painting with a strong symbolic mark. Indeed, the Great Wave off Kanagawa is a representation of fishing boats returning from having sold their stocks in Tokyo to the Izu and Boso peninsulas as a Typhoon threatens.
The artist Hokusai managed to capture all the power of the wave and the fragility of the boats in this single image. Similarly, LEGO has endeavored to retransmit through its bricks this same opposition, this same force of nature capable of crushing, like vulgar wisps of straw, such small creatures.
In the format of a table made up of 1810 pieces, LEGO manages to offer a version that could not be more authentic of this great work that is the Great Wave off Kanagawa. 52cm high and 39cm wide, it is a work that will easily fit into your interior, while referring to one of the greatest works that Japan has to offer to humanity.
