Frequently asked
Who created The Great Wave and when?
Katsushika Hokusai created this masterpiece around 1831 during Japan's Edo period. Surprisingly, Hokusai was already over 70 years old when he made this famous print, proving that artistic genius can flourish at any age.
What technique was used to create The Great Wave?
The artwork was created using woodblock printing, where artists carved images into wooden blocks and used them like stamps. Each color required a separate carved block, making this a complex multi-step process.
Why is Mount Fuji so small in the background?
