Hokusai's "Great Wave”, as it is commonly known, is arguably one of Japan's most successful exports, its commanding cresting profile instantly recognizable. In this richly illustrated and original study, Christine Guth examines the iconic wave from its first publication in 1831, arguing that it has been a site where the tensions, contradictions, and, especially, the productive creativities of the local and the global have been negotiated and expressed.
