The Great Wave off Kanagawa, 1831
The first sheet of Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, printed from the Library of Congress scan of an original impression — 8,561 pixels wide, so the woodgrain in the key block and the gradation in the sky survive at full size. Fuji is the small peak in the trough of the wave; most reproductions crop the joke out.

Why ours look different
A poster of the same picture starts from a web image. Ours starts from the archive master.
We take the museum's full-resolution scan, remove the scanner cast, dust and paper damage by hand, and keep the paper tone, the fade and the register exactly as the impression has them. Nothing is redrawn and nothing is generated.
How we restore 
Drag the handle. Left is the archive scan exactly as published; right is the file that goes to the printer.
Hung together
Gallery sets, already matched
Same size, same frame, chosen to hang as one piece — 10% off the second framed print.
How it's made
From the museum's scan to your wall
- 1
The archive scan
Only impressions the holding museum or library publishes as free to reuse — the Library of Congress and others. The institution and its record are named on every product page.
- 2
The restoration
Dust, stains and scanner cast removed by hand at full resolution, without repainting anything the carver cut. Only sizes the scan can carry at 200 dpi or better are offered.
- 3
Print & frame
Archival matte paper and pigment inks, printed and framed to order in the USA, double-boxed and tracked to your door.
From the journal
What you are looking at
Hokusai's Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji Has Forty-Six Prints
The series sold so well that Hokusai's publisher added ten more sheets. The extras are printed with a black outline instead of a blue one, which is how you can tell them apart at a glance.

Fuji is the small peak at the center, not the wave. Three boats are running underneath it. And the blue was barely a decade old in Japan when Hokusai used it. A close reading of the most reproduced print in the world.
