The Great Wave Joined the Lego Art Theme

For a few moments, let us head back to Edo Period in Japan. Edo Period took place between the 17th century and the 19th century. This era for Japan was the era of growth, social order, isolation, and a stable population. In addition to economic and social changes, there was a change in art as well. An art movement called Ukiyo-e which means modernization in short emerged in the 17th century.  The Ukiyo-e movement portrays daily life, natural life, mountains, the sea, etc.  When the dates showed the 19th century, a very famous artist, Katsushika Hokusai, painted a series called Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji. In this series, The Great Wave of Kanagawa or Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura became the hallmark of the Ukiyo-e movement.
