The Great Wave
This wave etching is created by Hokusai and is sometimes classed as the single most famous woodblock prints of this Japanese era of art prints. It is a key part to the series calloed the 'Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji'.
Several thousands of this print were printed, and with it being a early on etch-print style it is very much so just full of blocked colour, and the outlining always came out thick too.
The immediate focal point for which the veiwers eyes fall upon once looking at the picture is typically just under the center of the top wave beneth the peak.
