This image is one of the most famous from the series 'Thirty-six views of Mount Fuji'. Hokusai had employed the same idea as shown in this print 30 years earlier in a print modelled on a Dutch etching. Western influence is obvious in the low vantage point, but the churning sea and tentacles of the wave are traditional Japanese.
