Frequent Art Questions
Who's the artist responsible for the Great Wave?
Great question! It is Katsushika Hokusai, a real master of Japanese woodblock prints! "The Great Wave" was part of a series Hokusai created called "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." Another print from that series is on view on the 1st floor in Infinite Blue!
