Few images have made waves quite like Hokusai’s ‘Kanagawa oki nami ura’ — better known as ‘The Great Wave’.

A masterpiece of Japanese printmaking, this iconic woodblock print from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji captures the force of nature with extraordinary rhythm, tension and elegance. This impression, from a French private collection, is distinguished by 19th-century provenance.

Presented in the upcoming Art d’Asie sale in Paris, the work appears alongside Chinese works of art, classical and modern paintings, Japanese art and Himalayan sculpture, reflecting the richness and diversity of Asian art.
