The artwork, which was created in the early 1830s, is a very popular and influential piece of art. A tsunami is a huge wave that comes from the sea. It crashes against boats near Mount Fuji, which is far away.
Annemette Baaskjær Nielsen from the LEGO Group said that they’re excited about the new product that lets fans of art and Japanese culture experience the relaxing project of recreating the iconic Great Wave, captured in a LEGO Art set.
“This set offers so many ways that fans can unwind and find their flow. Not just immersing themselves into the building process, but also getting into the artwork and how that is composed. Sparking an interest in Hokusai’s instantly recognizable original and its rich history of almost 200 years.”
Lego believes that its products can help adults relax, with 93% of adults regularly feeling stressed and 80% looking for new ways to relax.
The brand says that people who enjoy LEGO can relax and enjoy the set and the accompanying soundtrack while learning more about the original artwork.
