Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa

Posted by Journal with Cover Design on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 Under: Design Ranges

Hokusai was a Japanese print-maker who lived in the early 19th Century and had no less than thirty different names during his lifetime! The iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa is the first print from a large series, which he created under the name Katsushika Hokusai during his sixties (when he was widely regarded to be producing his best work … so it’s never too late!).

There is also an Address Book in this 5" x 8" size which looks exactly the same.

Above Right: A Smaller Notebook with the same Japanese Print.
It's 4" x 6", so more of a Pocket Notebook

If you're looking for something larger for a writing in than the notebooks above, we also publish the Great Wave off Kanagawa on a Journal (below). This is one of our smaller 6" x 9" sized Journals for Writing.

In the 8" x 10" size is a Larger Journal for Writing (with an index page), a Reading Log Notebook and a Large Daily Planner Book. The image below is of the Reading Log, but all three look much the same, with Mount Fuji as the central theme (That's how Hokusai would have wanted it ...as a Japanese Buddhist, the mountain represented the gifts of life and immortality to him. He had something of a lifelong obsession with it, returning to it again and again in further print series.)
