| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of Katsushika Hokusai's celebrated woodblock print 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' (c. 1831), rendered in vivid polychrome enamel within an ornate gilded picture-frame border that encases the entire square flan. The composition faithfully depicts a towering, claw-crested wave in deep indigo and Prussian blue dominating the upper field, with two oshiokuri-bune (transport boats) caught in the turbulent sea in the lower field, and the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji visible in the mid-distance beneath the wave's arch. Intricate white foam and spray details are faithfully replicated across the wave's surface. The surrounding gilded frame features elaborate Baroque-style scrollwork and a beaded inner border, providing a museum-quality presentation that accentuates the artistic character of the design. |
