Hokusai T-Shirt Great Wave off Kanagawa 2

Casual shirt with contemporary interpretation of classic art

There are works of art that you need to be an art historian to know and appreciate. And then there are others that you have seen so many times that you know them by heart. The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Edo-period (1603–1868) artist Katsushika Hokusai is one such work: almost anyone in the world will immediately recognize it. So every time you walk around in your Hokusai T-Shirt Great Wave off Kanagawa 2 everyone will instantly know you are a mega-fan of Japanese art!

What makes the Hokusai T-Shirt Great Wave off Kanagawa 2 so different from conventional T-shirts featuring the artist's wave sold at souvenir shops all over Japan is that this modern interpretation of the masterpiece looks like American music posters from the 1960s, and has been created by contemporary artists and craftspeople in Tokyo's Sumida ward, Hokusai's original hometown! You can get it in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL), made of heavy 100% cotton, and dyed using the traditional sumizome technique that makes the wave really stand out, framed by a ribbon with Hokusai's name and another with the legend "Sumida, Tokyo, Japan"!
