The continuing appeal of Katsushika Hokusai can be seen everywhere today, from museum walls to everyday objects, and even in playful reinterpretations like Hokusai prints and Hokusai Lego art. What makes his work so enduring is its ability to speak across cultures and generations, which explains the recreation of the Lego art Hokusai print "The Wave" so much. You don’t need to be an art expert, a specialist in Japanese culture, or a historian to feel something when you see "The Great Wave". The image is immediate, bold, and easy to understand, yet layered with meaning the longer you look.
