Hokusai Wave Decorative Plate 12.2 in

The large plate features the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e painting The Great Wave, which depicts surging waves and three boats, and silently standing Mount Fuji in the distant background under the golden sky.

Throughout his life, Hokusai painted waves as the main subject of his paintings along with Mount Fuji. Hokusai's expression of the ever-changing movement of water captures the hearts of those who see it, even in modern times.

With the combination of Kutani ware with the masterpiece of the genius artist Hokusai Katsushika, the plate has truly an eye-stopping charm for anyone.

The delightful large-sized (31 cm) plate will add a touch of color to your room and take you back in time.

It comes in an original wooden box and with a stand which makes it a perfect gift for someone who loves Japanese art and culture.
