"Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura" (神奈川沖浪裏), known in English as "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," is a renowned woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created during the Edo period, circa 1831, it is the first and most famous piece in Hokusai's series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūrokkei). The series reflects Hokusai's fascination with Mount Fuji, a sacred symbol of Japan, and showcases the mountain from various perspectives and in different seasons.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa depicts an enormous wave threatening boats off the coast of the prefecture of Kanagawa, with Mount Fuji rising in the background. The composition masterfully contrasts human vulnerability with the formidable power of nature. The wave, with its claw-like crests, seems poised to crash down on the boats, while the serene and diminutive Mount Fuji sits in stark contrast, suggesting the eternal and unchanging nature of the mountain.

Hokusai's innovative use of Prussian blue, a pigment newly introduced to Japan from Europe, gives the print its vibrant and enduring color. The dynamic and dramatic use of line and the clever play of perspective have made this image iconic, influencing not only the development of Japanese art but also inspiring artists and works across the globe.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa has become one of the most recognizable works of Japanese art, symbolizing the power and beauty of nature, as well as the resilience of the human spirit. Its widespread reproduction and cultural impact have led to its status as a quintessential image of Japan, and it remains a highly studied and celebrated work in the history of art.
