"Golven brekend tegen de hemel" (Waves Breaking Against the Sky) is a set of three book covers designed by Dutch artist Koda Rohan between 1907 and 1908. The covers feature a stylized wave motif in silver against a colored background, with Japanese text reading "天つ海" (Heaven's Sea). The design reflects the Art Nouveau style, showcasing intricate details and flowing lines inspired by nature. The covers, housed in the Rijksmuseum, are a testament to Rohan's talent for decorative art and his interest in Japanese aesthetics.
