Hokusai: Beyond the Great Wave

As a new exhibition dedicated to Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai opens at the British Museum in London, this film explores the legacy and impact of his most iconic image, the Great Wave, and asks why it has such appeal.

First time seeing the Great Wave.I love it.

Hokusai had a profound and spiritual view of nature

It's strange that everybody has noticed the tentacles and the "snow" and the second Fuji, but NOT the dragon's head with blue eyes and gnarling teeth coming out on the left of the wave. There is another print of Hokusai where he drew a dragon coming out of a wave, this one is obviously more concealed.
