Grosse Welle
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
Bayerische Staatsbibliothek

Hokusai schuf den Farbholzschnitt „Unter der Welle im Meer vor Kanagawa“ – so der eigentliche Titel – in den Jahren 1830/32. Er ist das bekannteste Blatt seiner Holzschnittserie »36 Ansichten des Berges Fuji«.

Nicknamed The Great Wave, this is not only the most famous ukiyo-e print but the most famous Japanese artwork internationally. The majestic curve of the towering wave has inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of later artists. No other image evokes nature's beauty and terrifying power as this does. The three vessels endangered by the rogue wave, with men bent over their oars as they row for their lives, are express fish-delivery boats that delivered their perishable cargo to the great fish markets of Edo. They are probably returning home to the area of present-day Yokohama. The glimpse of Mount Fuji beyond the curve of the wave-the only visible land in the picture-is a perfect finishing touch and a symbol of hope that the boats

Wanted to get out of the house so we went to the last day of the Edo Pop exhibition at the Watts Gallery today. Didn't really know what to expect but we saw some real Hiroshige and Hokusai woodblock prints which was -awesome-.
