Is there anything that Katsushika Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa hasn't adorned? If you answer "no," you're probably right: the early 19th-century woodblock masterpiece whose main element is, amazingly enough, Mount Fuji and not the huge wave, is everywhere you look in Japan (including the 1000-yen banknote, the most commonly used bill), and now on the back of the Happi Tokyo Hokusai Wave and Crane Festival Coat. Making this beautiful jacket, one of the most quintessentially Japanese garments you could ever own and wear!
Happi are worn either as livery coats by people working in traditional shops or as part of the countless matsuri or festivals that take place in Japan every year, especially at summer and harvest time. The Happi Tokyo Hokusai Wave and Crane Festival Coat is made in the style of these overcoats but instead of a festival or shop logo or crest on the back, you get Hokusai's iconic wave and a majestic red-crowned tancho crane flying over it. Made of polyester and available in one-size-fits-all, this is as much as piece of art as the wave itself!
