Several prints by Katsushika Hokusai will be auctioned at Bonhams this September during Asia Week New York, including an early impression of Hokusai's ‘Great Wave’. ‘The Great Wave’ is by far the most recognizable print from Hokusai’s famous series, 'Fugaku sanjūrokkei' (36 Views of Mount Fuji), and is among the most famous art images in the world. According to Jeff Olson, director of Japanese Art at Bonhams, New York, this particular print coming to auction is without the flaws found in other prints due to cracks in the woodblocks used to create the lines of the ocean current in the lower right area of the image.
