Shikoku Uchiwa Hokusai Great Wave Round Bamboo Fan

Shikoku Uchiwa Hokusai Great Wave Large Round Bamboo Fan

The Shikoku Uchiwa Hokusai Great Wave Round Bamboo Fan brings one of the world's most recognised works of art to the traditional Japanese uchiwa form. Katsushika Hokusai's iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa — a crashing ocean wave framing the distant peak of Mount Fuji — is reproduced across the large round face of the fan with striking fidelity, including the original Japanese title cartouche in the upper right corner.

Made in Japan by Shikoku Uchiwa Co., a specialist producer of traditional bamboo fans, this large-format uchiwa combines cultural significance with everyday function. It is an equally fine choice for use, display, or as a distinctly Japanese gift.

About Ukiyo-e

Ukiyo-e is a traditional Japanese art style that flourished from the 17th to 19th centuries. Meaning "pictures of the floating world," it captures everyday life, nature, and fleeting moments through woodblock prints and paintings of extraordinary refinement. Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji — of which the Great Wave is the most celebrated — remains one of the most recognised bodies of work in the history of art.
