This is a woodblock print titled "Feminine Wave" by the famed Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Hokusai, born in 1760 and active until his death in 1849, is renowned for his mastery of the ukiyo-e style, known for its vibrant colors and depictions of everyday life. The print showcases Hokusai's signature detail-oriented approach, capturing the dynamic movement and intricate detail of crashing waves. The use of various shades of blue creates a sense of depth and movement, while the white dots sprinkled across the print evoke the spray of water. This print, though lacking a specific date, represents the powerful and evocative nature of Hokusai's artistic legacy.
