The Great Wave
The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831) by Katsushika Hokusai, also known as Under the Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏, Kanagawa-oki Nami Ura) is a Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print, and possibly the most reproduced image in the history of art. The print depicts a large wave about to overtake boats navigating a stormy sea, with Mount Fuji in the background. The print was the first in Hokusai's series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, in which the use of Prussian blue pigment revolutionized Japanese printmaking.

Framed Art Prints
We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. No glass/glazing is used to showcase paper texture and avoid glare/reflectivity. Smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish.
Frames are solid wood, ready to hang with kraft paper backing and hanging wire installed.
Giclée Prints
Giclée prints are created on professional inkjet printers using archival quality, acid-free paper or canvas. Unlike a normal inkjet, prints are created using 12 different colors cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, light magenta, light cyan, light gray, very light gray, orange, green, and violet) to provide the best possible color reproduction.
Our art prints and canvases maintain the highest possible detail, preserving color, scale, proportions and visual textures, an accurate reproduction of the art.
Let customers speak for us
The print is stunning. The quality of the paper, the colors, the sharpness of the image, all are just beautiful. I'm very happy I choses to order from Without a Frame.
Great print that I got in the exact size I needed for a specific space...it was really nicely framed....and really well packaged for shipping. There are a couple other prints I am considering getting now.
Bought the 25x20, impressive size, looks great on the wall
Great looking print, you can really see the detail.
The throw is great quality. The colors are excellent and I appreciate that it is sized proportional to the original without any cropping.
The pillows are excellent quality and amply filled. The skulls have a great texture, and really look great on the couch. Shipping was fast.
All went well...quality product...arrived quickly....well packaged but not overdone.
These pillows are wonderful. They are very well made and coordinate with the throw that I got from the same company. The 2 Dans were great to work with. I was able to customize the pillows to allow them to be mirror images.
We have always loved the woodcut The Wave. Having it in blanket form is special.
