-About-

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a master artist and printmaker of ukiyo-e, “pictures of the floating world” school. Hokusai was well over 70 years old when The Great Wave was made.

It would be the very first print he would publish of his monumental series, “The Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji”, a series which would firmly secure Hokusai’s fame in Japan, as well as overseas.

The Great Wave is Hokusai’s most celebrated work and with no doubt considered the most recognizable work of Japanese art in the world. This extraordinary pattern was dyed using the kimono technique “Kyoto-Yuzen”.

A collaboration with the Hokusai Museum, Obuse, Nagano.

100% Brushed Cotton : As its name suggests, brushed cotton is cotton that’s finished with a brushing technique.

The fabric is luxuriously smooth and as soft as a “lived-in” shirt with the elegance of a premium material. In other words, it’s cotton, but BETTER!
