Hokusai Pop-Ups

My son loved it!

The "Great Wave Off Kanagawa" from his works entitled Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji (1830-1834) by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) is the most captivating simple color woodblock print. The original is kept in the Honolulu Academy of Arts, a gift from James MIchener in 1955. Can't afford any of his work, but have some cards like this. Love the Pop-Ups take on his woodblock prints!

I have always loved the drawing on the cover. I needed a house warming gift, for a friend's daughter, and she studied the chinese language and has a particular interest in all things asian. So this seemed an appropriate gift and she loved it. The only flaw was, one of the crysthanthamums didn't really open all the way. I'm not sure why.

Pretty sturdy, will hold up if care is taken.

What a wonderful book! I collect pop-ups and this now my favorite.

This is a great pop-up book. We saw the Hokusai exhibit in Boston and ordered the book for our grandkids. One of them had done an art project in school using Hokusai's waves as the theme, so we know he will treasure the book.

I love this book, the latest in this designer's series of pop-ups of great artists (check out her Escher and Dali books as well). The pop-up architecture for each spread can seem almost deceptively simple but they are a perfect match for the wonderful art. Yes, the Great Wave is on the cover and it's the piece everyone knows but you've got to check out The Phoenix for a truly eye popping translation of a 2D painting to 3D.

Expected more views of Mt. Fuji

Livre juste magnifique, quel dommage qu'il n'y ai pas une edition en français , on en redemande car peut de pages au final . Très beau a exposé

Per gli appassionati, da inserire nella propria collezione. Spedizione e consegna eccellenti.

A very cool book. I got it for a child. Older people will appreciate the art, while kids will enjoy the 3D pop-ups. It's very intricate, and very cool.

Excelente libro, además de interesante puede fungir como decoración del hogar por los hermosos pop ups.

Mi hermano es artísta de colalge y pensé que un pop-up de esta dificultad sería adecuado y acerté al 100% es realmente bonito
