Hokusai: The Great Wave (31208), the newest LEGO set inspired by Japanese art, has been officially revealed!

Hokusai - The Great Wave, unquestionably one of the most well-known and important Japanese works of art ever, is still inspiring artists today. By reimagining the renowned artwork in LEGO Art form, The LEGO Group is paying homage to this worldwide masterpiece and its almost two-century-long history. This gives fans of art and Japanese culture the chance to immerse themselves in a peaceful construction that is ideal for exhibiting at home.

The famous and iconic Japanese artwork is recreated in this kit with a LEGO twist, replete with 3D components that make The Great Wave stand out. It does an excellent job of portraying the look effectively considering it has 1,810 parts.

One particularly amazing LEGO Art set is The Great Wave, which includes texture and sections of the Great Wave off Kanagawa that emerge from the painting to great effect. This set has progressed from the dot and stud-heavy format to more 3D-like canvases.

It borrows ideas from 31206 The Rolling Stones, the first LEGO Art set to move in this 3D-model direction and amplifies them by adding layers and layers of plates as well as interesting parts usages, like white birds and 3-leaf plants, to mimic the sea spray that makes this painting such an iconic one.

There is a specially made soundtrack or podcast that you may listen to while you're building to enhance your experience, just like with many of the other LEGO Art kits.

31208 Hokusai The Great Wave is a homage to Katsushika Hokusai's well-known and famous woodblock print and contains a distinctive three-dimensional LEGO build with layers and pieces of various forms to depict the lines and depth of Hokusai's original artwork.
