Katsushika Hokusai: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, 1831
_________________________
“The Great Wave dwarfs Mt Fuji. Spray falls from the tentacles of the wave like snow on to the peak. The whole picture is orchestrated to pay homage to the steadfastness of the sacred mountain. Three swift boats (oshiokuri), delivering fish to market in Edo, head directly into a great storm wave out at sea off Kanagawa. The oarsmen crouch forwards, ready to battle heroically with the elemental power of the ocean.
Hokusai had rehearsed the wave several times in his thirties and forties, when he was absorbing the lessons of European-style perspective. To this was added, in his old age, a veneration of Mt Fuji as a talisman of longevity. The design may already have been drawn in the early 1820s. Then, later in the decade, Prussian blue became available in large quantities from China, providing a wonderfully vibrant new pigment for sky and sea to add to the traditional indigo.
The series (Thirty-Six Views of Mt Fuji), of which this is the most famous print, was one significant result. Over the years as many as 8,000 impressions of each design were printed. For little more than the price of a double helping of noodles, anyone in Edo could purchase their own impression of The Great Wave'.”
Timothy Clark: Hokusai - Beyond the great Wave, 2017

Doesn't this copy of The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet match my Wave in a Teacup pin perfectly I haven't read this yet, but am a big fan of David Mitchell, so am super excited to give it a go. My reading list is soooooo long at the moment I need to head to the beach and do nothing but read for like a month! (Also yikes I need to paint my nails)... What are you guys reading at the mo?

Last week I worked on this custom order - “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” by Hokusai. And I can say it turned out to be one of my favorite embroideries I’ve created so far! It was ordered as a surprise gift and I had no idea who is going to be the actual recipient. Until today when @lorrayolo (a very cool girl that I know) sent me a photo of the hoop in her hands... So I got a wonderful surprise too and this made my day!☀️
