Pocket Journal (Hokusai: The Great Wave) - Flame Tree Publishing

A part of the Flame Tree series of pocket-sized luxury books. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed again. They are wonderfully practical: with a back pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use, handbags, and making a stunning gift. This edition features the classic Asian masterpiece The Great Wave by Hokusai.

The most significant period in Hokusai's artistic life was the second part of his career, which began in 1830 when he was 70 years old. He started a series of landscapes, of which he is best known: “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji,” including The Great Wave off Kanagawa, probably his most iconic image.

Fascinating titles and a wide range of authors are synonymous with Flame Tree Publishing.
