TALK TO AN ART ADVISORAbout the artwork
Created around 1831 as part of the celebrated series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, Under the Wave presents a dramatic vision of the sea at the moment of its greatest power. A towering wave, frozen in motion, rises above fragile boats while Mount Fuji appears distant and immovable on the horizon. Hokusai’s bold composition, dynamic curves, and striking contrasts capture both the violence and beauty of nature, emphasizing the tension between human vulnerability and natural force.
This LITO Masters edition is reproduced from ultra-high-definition museum scans using our patented process, faithfully capturing the original colour nuances, crisp linework, and the refined textures of the woodblock printing.
The subtle gradations of blue, the foaming crests of the wave, and the precise contours are rendered with exceptional clarity and depth.
Validated by the museum and released in a strict limited edition, each print is individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
Powerful, iconic, and instantly recognizable, Under the Wave brings a sense of movement, energy, and timeless strength to any interior, enriching both contemporary and classic spaces.
