{"product_id":"great-wave-off-kanagawa-poster-daiha","title":"Great Wave off Kanagawa Poster 'Daiha'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHokusai print of the great wave off Kanagawa, three boats under the claw of foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wave. This is Hokusai's Under the Wave off Kanagawa, the most reproduced picture in the history of art: a great wave rises at the left and curls over with its foam drawn as claws, three long boats of rowers cling to the water beneath it, a second wave rises at the right, and Fuji sits small and white in the trough between them under a grey sky. The mountain is the point of the series and the wave is what everyone remembers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the print people come to the collection for, and it is here in the print's own blue, with the boats in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Daiha, is the great wave, and the picture is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe print is reproduced from the woodblock print on a textured canvas, stretched round a wooden frame with the image wrapping the edges, so it hangs without a frame and without glass. The colours are the print's own: the deep Prussian blue, the cream of the paper, the greens and the rose of the sky. The cartouche with the series title and the artist's signature is printed in the corner, as on the Edo sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHang it on a single nail at eye level, alone or in a row of three with two others from the series, which is how they look best. It goes above a desk, a sofa or a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foam is the detail: the crest of the wave is drawn as a row of curling fingers that reach down over the boats, and the spray is a scatter of white dots across the sky. The rowers are drawn bent flat in their boats, and the mountain between the waves is the same shape as the wave's own trough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery print in the collection is photographed on the same wall at the same scale, so the pages compare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft dry cloth or a brush; do not wet it. Keep it out of direct sun, which fades the blue over years, and away from a radiator, which loosens the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is the wave, which everyone knows. From close the foam shows its fingers, the rowers their backs, and the mountain its smallness. It is the print for a person who has seen it a thousand times and wants it on the wall anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree sizes: 40 by 60 cm, 50 by 75 cm and 60 by 90 cm. The smallest suits a shelf or a small wall, the middle a desk, the largest a wall on its own. The image is the same in all three.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"40X60cm","offer_id":59207970324828,"sku":"200000886:200005377#40cmX60cm(No Frame);14:29#01","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"50X75cm","offer_id":59207970357596,"sku":"200000886:200005379#50cmX75cm(No Frame);14:29#01","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60X90cm","offer_id":59207970390364,"sku":"200000886:200004519#60cmX90cm(No Frame);14:29#01","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/great-wave-off-kanagawa-poster-daiha-1.jpg?v=1790585701","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/great-wave-off-kanagawa-poster-daiha","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
