Vivid Great Wave by Hokusai

Enjoy this vivid new version of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa, from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji by the famous Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints (or woodcuts) and paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries, featuring motifs of landscapes, tales from history, the theatre, and pleasure quarters. It is the main artistic genre of woodblock printing in Japan. The Floating World store on Zazzle digitally restores these historical treasures to new vivid colours and fixes basic aging issues. Paper texture and ink marks from the original woodblock print process are maintained because it reveals the aged beauty of these master works of art.
