The Great Wave off Kanagawa was created by Hokusai Katsushika, one of the greatest Japanese printmakers and painters of the 19th century. It was the first design for a series of originally 36 famous views of Mount Fuji, Japan's sacred mountain. The series was very successful in the market, and thus was later extended to 46 designs. But then it ended abruptly, and we do not know why. The design was created by Hokusai around 1830 and published by Nishimuraya Yohachi presumably in 1832.
