It is made using the traditional woodblock printing technique, in which pigments are embedded into the fibers of the washi paper to create the colors. ◆ WoodblocksThe woodblocks are made from old mountain cherry trees, just like in the Edo period. The carvers use different tools, such as a small knife or a chisel, depending on the part. Hokusai's paintings have finer lines than those of other artists, and the carvers' skills in carving faithfully to the drawn lines are evident. ◆PrintingAs in the past, paints are made from natural pigments extracted from minerals and plants. In addition to ink (black), pigments based on the three primary colors of red, blue, and yellow are mixed together, and the blocks are carved by color, and each block is printed and layered to create the work. The "blue" that Hokusai pursued was essential to his depiction of the waves, and he used Prussian blue, a chemical pigment imported from Europe in the late Edo period. In "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," he used two shades of Prussian blue and skillfully layered the colors to create a colorful, three-dimensional large wave. The size is as follows, and it will be a perfect accent piece for your room or office interior. 16 x 22 in (including frame) Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, illustration, description This is a series of 36 paintings famous as Hokusai's masterpieces, produced in 1835.
