Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) changed his name several times to coincide with his changes in artistic styles. Here, The Great Wave at Kanagawa, is part of a 36 piece series originally done as Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock printing. Mount Fuji is a centerpiece of great aesthetic and spiritual significance in this print, and a plethora of Hokusais other works.

Comments
The poster I received was less than stellar. I waited 3 weeks for it to arrive, found out it had been lost and sent a email inquiring about the arrival date. They sent me a new one which I was happy about but when it arrived, it was a poorly done copy of what I was expecting. Overall I was unhappy with the product. I should not have been surprised because of the affordable cost but I had hoped for the best. I will hang this poster for now until I can order a legitimate poster. Not just a copy.

The poster itself is nice, but the product picture does not show that there is an off-white border around the picture. I don’t know if that bothers anyone else…but I bought three other posters to go with this one and none of them have borders…so this is the odd man out. Overall, the poster is of poster quality. Nothing grand, but not crappy. It’s worth the money you pay for it. Just be aware of the border and you won’t be disappointed.

Well, either you like the picture or you don’t. The quality of the paper isn’t too spectacular, but put it up in a frame and you forget about that. For the price, it’s hard to complain.
This was on backorder when I bought it, and it took probably 3-4 weeks before I received it, but it was worth it.
