Description
About this set
Hokusai The Great Wave is a 1,810-piece LEGO Art set that recreates Hokusai’s famous Japanese wave artwork. You build up layers of bricks on six canvas plates to give the wave real depth, then finish with a tile carrying Hokusai’s signature. Scan the QR code for an audio track made to go along with the build. The finished piece measures about 39 by 52 cm.
Rated 18+, it’s a calm, absorbing project for adults and a striking piece of wall art for a home or office. Two hanger elements make it ready to hang. It has left production, so new sealed boxes are only getting scarcer.

- Layered, dimensional take on The Great Wave
