This illustrated essay analyzes the Japanese print «La gran ola de Kanagawa», created by Hokusai around 1830 for the series «Treinta y seis vistas del monte Fuji». It examines the composition of the wave and the role of Mount Fuji, the technique of Prussian blue, a British Museum impression, and the image's transformation into a global icon.

Aimed at readers interested in Japanese art and art history seeking a brief introduction to Hokusai's work.
