Hokusai Great Wave Bangle

THE GREAT WAVE BRACELET

Adapted from Katsushika Hokusai’s woodblock print series of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.  From the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

This print is by far the most famous image in all of Japanese art in the eyes of the world. The majestic curve of the towering wave has inspired hundreds if not thousands of later artists. No other single image so evokes the beauty and terror of nature. The glimpse of the great mountain beyond the curve of the wave is both the perfect finishing touch to the composition and a symbol of hope that the boats will come through safely.

Material: Brass with gold finish and epoxy.  Diameter is 2 5/8".
