Museums & Galleries Great Wave Playing Cards

This sturdy boxed set deck of cards features Under the Wave, off Kanagawa (The Great Wave) Katsushika Hokushai (1760 - 1849);

detail from a colour woodblock print, 183.

From the series Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji 

Created in late 1831 during the Edo period of Japanese history, the print depicts three boats moving through a storm-tossed sea, with a large, cresting wave forming a spiral in the centre and Mount Fuji visible in the background.

The print is Hokusai's best-known work and the first in his series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, in which the use of Prussian blue revolutionised Japanese prints.

Gather your friends together for a evening of card playing while enjoying the immense beauty of the art of The Great Wave.
