"The Wave" is here in Takamatsu! If you haven't seen it yet, run join the crowds this week because this is the final weekend! I've been wanting to see it since I came to Japan as it is one of the most famous works of art created here.

"The Great Wave off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave or simply The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period as the first print in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji."

My personal "favorite" exhibit was the rendition of this famous artwork with Godzilla trying to go up against it! If you look closely, you can see he is crushing a boat and little men are jumping or falling out of it, all with Mount Fuji in the background! Another rendition has the Peanuts characters surfing "The Wave", but they can't compete against Godzilla in his home country!! Awesome Art!!
