Cross Stitch DIY Kit-The Great Wave off Kanagawa
$140.00
“The cross stitch kit of the “”Great Wave of Kanagawa””, or better known simply as The Wave, is a famous Japanese woodblock print by the painter Katsushika Hokusai.
The great wave off Kanagawa is one of Hokusai’s finest works and possibly the single most famous image in all oriental art. In addition to the sheer graphic beauty of The great wave there is a compelling force in the contrast between wave and the mountain. The monstrous wave towers above, with its impending crash of water creating a great tension, whereas the graceful lines of a diminutive Mt Fuji sit in the distance. We see tiny fisherman huddled in their sleek crafts ride down one wave, dive straight into the next and endeavour to come out the other side. These swift boats, called oshiokuribune, transported fresh fish and dried sardines in the morning to fish markets off Edo (now Tokyo) Bay, from villages on the Bohso Peninsula.
The colors selected for the cross stitch kit have been expertly matched to the original painting.
