The Great Wave Off Kanagawa
March 24, 2008
Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) created this extraordinary picture around 1831. It depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa; Mount Fuji can be seen in the background. The wave is probably not intended to be a tsunami, but a normal ocean wave created by the wind. Like the other prints in the series, it depicts the area around Mount Fuji under particular conditions.
Man, the wall in my bedroom looks so ugly now. It used to be filled with posters, but some kept dropping while some I don’t love anymore. Well, that explains why there are so many empty spaces on it.
I took everything down and decided to rasterize a picture of The Great Wave Off Kanagawa with the Rasterbator.
1/3 done.
Halfway through.
All done!
Another view of it.
