About Hokusai
About the artwork
From Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, The Great Wave of Kanagawa compresses ocean and mountain into one balanced composition: a wave cresting with claw-like fingers of foam, and Fuji small and serene in the distance. The diagonal tension between wave and horizon makes it one of the most structurally sophisticated works of ukiyo-e. As a duo, the image is divided into two panels that hang side by side, so the sweep from wave to mountain runs across both.
On canvas, the Prussian blue and the curling foam gain a soft, tactile depth, and the two stretched panels turn the print into a wide piece of canvas wall art.

We started at the Berlin markets. Now we ship art to homes across Europe.
We started with a table and a handful of prints. Curious, a little naive, and completely obsessed with finding art worth hanging. Every piece we sell, we're proud to put our name on.

Questions? We're here.
Any questions about this print — just reach out.
Which canvas do you use?
400 g cotton canvas with a visible weave, stretched on a wooden stretcher frame about 2 cm deep. We use Japanese pigment inks and the giclée process.
How long does delivery take?
We make every order in our Berlin studio, usually within 1 to 3 working days, and then hand it to the carrier. In Germany it arrives 2 to 5 working days later. Other countries take longer, and Swiss parcels can sit a day or two at customs.
Can I return my order?
Yes — we offer 30-day hassle-free returns on all prints. If your print arrives damaged or there is a quality issue, we will replace it free of charge.
How do you make sure of the quality?
Our own team makes every art print and canvas print in our Berlin workshop, from printing to framing to packing. What you pay goes into the quality: Japanese pigment inks, matte fine art paper, cotton canvas and solid wood frames in oak, black or brown.
Art print or canvas print?
Choose an art print if you like crisp detail and a classic look behind acrylic glass. Choose a canvas print if you want the texture of a painting and no glass at all. With a floating frame, the canvas seems to float on the wall.
What is a floating frame?
A floating frame is a frame without glass in which the canvas sits with a narrow gap all around. That makes the picture seem to float. Our gap is 5 to 10 mm depending on size, the moulding is 1 cm, and we mount the frame for you.
How do I hang a canvas print?
There are no hangers on the stretcher frame. The Canvas Frame Hook gives you two nail hooks that you hammer into the wall, no drilling and no wall plugs. You hang the canvas print on them, with or without floating frame.
Is this a giclée print?
Yes. We make every canvas print with the giclée process, using Japanese pigment inks on cotton canvas. The inks are archival and made to last over 100 years.
How high should I hang a picture?
The centre of the picture works best at 145 to 150 cm above the floor. Above a sofa or sideboard, the picture should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture.
