Why You’ll Love It

LEGO® Art 31208 Hokusai – The Great Wave succeeds in turning a flat masterpiece into a richly textured display that changes character as you view it from different angles. The layered construction gives the wave a remarkable sense of movement, while the tiny boats, distant Mount Fuji and dimensional foam preserve the instantly recognizable composition of Hokusai’s original work. With its integrated frame and wall-hanging design, the finished model feels more like a piece of decorative art than a traditional LEGO® set. Now retired, 31208 is an especially attractive collectible for fans of Japanese art, Hokusai and distinctive LEGO® display pieces.
