Bringing The Great Wave to life in LEGO® bricks
As a prolific artist, Hokusai created an estimated 30,000 paintings, sketches and prints during his lifetime, but there is a particular one whose sense of drama and beauty made it one of the most reproduced artworks in history: The Great Wave off Kanagawa.
The theme of waves and water was compelling to Hokusai for decades and is still very present in many aspects of Japanese life, for his interpretation of the power of nature versus the human experience speaks timelessly to anyone. This piece is a formidable reminder of how fragile human life is.
