\"\"One of the most recognizable works of Japanese art is Hokusai’s The Great Wave Off Kanagawau\u00a0<\/em>often referred to as The Great Wave<\/em> or simply The Wave<\/em>. It was first published around 1830 and is the first woodblock print in a series of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji<\/em>. Each print in the series shows the area around Mount Fuji, the highest mountain in Japan, and includes the mountain in the background of each print.<\/p>\n

Although the original was done by carving intricate scenes into wood, we are “carving” designs into Styrofoam trays and printing. Your child can use The Great Wave<\/em> as inspiration or chose any other photo of Japan to inspire them. To stay true to Hokusai’s work, make sure to include Mount Fuji in the scene!<\/p>\n
