Hokusai’s Great Wave Is Only About 25 cm Tall — Yet It Became One of the World’s Most Recognisable Images
Hokusai's woodblock print compresses a towering wave, tiny boats and distant Mount Fuji into a scene of extraordinary movement. Its scale is modest, but the composition has travelled through art, fashion, advertising and popular culture for generations. Source: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/36491
