The original Great Wave, created by Katsushika Hokusai in the early 1830s, has been admired and reproduced around the world for nearly two centuries. It depicts Mount FUJI behind a large wave covering a group of small boats. Now, LEGO designers have brought the famous image to life in brick form, with layers and elements of different shapes to capture the lines and depth of Hokusai’s original artwork.

According to the LEGO Group’s global “Play Well 2022 Report”, most adults regularly feel stressed and are looking for ways to relax and unwind.
