About This Design

Great Wave off Kanagawa & Mount Fuji Japan Sea Key Ring

Great Wave off Kanagawa & Mount Fuji Japan Sea Key Ring

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa," also known as "Under the Wave off Kanagawa," is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. Created around 1831, it's part of a series titled "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji." The artwork depicts a scene of immense power and contrasting beauty. A colossal wave, its crest foaming and curling inward, threatens to engulf three small boats in a churning sea. In the background, Mount Fuji, an iconic symbol of Japan, stands calm and majestic, dwarfed by the wave's immensity. --- Hokusai's mastery of composition is evident in the way he uses perspective. The wave takes centre stage, its dynamic form filling the foreground. The cascading whitecaps and churning water create a sense of awe and drama. Mount Fuji, though a powerful symbol in itself, is relegated to the background. This creates a sense of scale, emphasizing the overwhelming size and power of the wave. The contrast between the wave's raw power and the tiny boats struggling against it evokes a feeling of human vulnerability in the face of nature's might. --- Unveiling the Depths: Meanings Behind the Artwork - The Great Wave off Kanagawa's enduring popularity transcends its visual grandeur. It resonates with viewers because it evokes a depth of meaning. One interpretation centres on the raw power of nature. The wave, the undeniable focal point of the artwork, symbolises the immense and potentially destructive forces that nature wields. --- However, The Great Wave is not simply a depiction of nature's power. The three small boats battling the wave introduce the theme of humanity and resilience. Despite their vulnerability in the face of the wave's might, their presence suggests the human spirit's ability to struggle and persevere. --- Another layer of meaning emerges from the contrast between the wave and Mount Fuji. While the wave embodies chaos and impermanence, Mount Fuji, a symbol of peace and stability, stands resolute in the background. This juxtaposition may represent the enduring human spirit that finds calmness and grounding even amidst challenges. --- Finally, the dynamic and ever-changing nature of the wave can also be seen as a reflection on the impermanence of life and the world around us. The Great Wave off Kanagawa thus becomes a powerful meditation on nature's power, human resilience, and the fleeting nature of existence. --- Vintage Japanese woodcut art by Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is in public domain.

This key chain was totally worth getting. It was bigger than I expected but not over-sized. Great quality. Could be given as a gift for any occasion ... just order with the pictures that you want the other person to have. Personally, I bought one for myself, one for my mom (for her birthday). I was satisfied with every thing about this. Excellent quality pictures, durable, looks really nice.

I wanted to get something special for my son as he has just had his second child and bought a new car so I decided on a keyring and Zazzle did an amazing job with this. It is very difficult to get a double sided keyring and I am very happy with the way this has turned out. Delivery was on time and website was easy to use. The black and white photos are perfect. Just what I hoped for.
