The Lego Group pays homage to one of Japanese master Hokusai's most iconic works with the new LEGO® Art Hokusai: The Great Wave set, giving lovers of Japanese art and culture the opportunity to immerse themselves in a relaxing build, perfect for exhibit at home.



Since the creation of the original print of the Great Wave, made on wood by Katsushika Hokusai in 1839, the work has quickly become a point of reference for various sectors: it has decorated the walls of the most important museums, inspired many pieces of music and it has even been reproduced in street art and as a merchandise item.
