Great Waves - Bookmark

One of the most recognisable images in the history of art, now keeping your place in a book — which feels entirely appropriate. The Great Waves bookmark is a hand-finished 3D printed reinterpretation of Katsushika Hokusai's iconic woodblock print The Great Wave off Kanagawa, printed right here at my workshop in the Netherlands.

✦ About This Bookmark

This bookmark faithfully captures the sweeping drama of Hokusai's original composition — the curling crest of the great wave, the sense of immense natural force frozen in a single moment — rendered in 3D and sized to sit elegantly in any book. A small hole at the top lets you attach a tassel or ribbon of your own choosing. A wonderful gift for lovers of Japanese art and culture, history readers, or anyone who appreciates beautiful design that carries a little more meaning than the average bookmark.
