The story behind it

The world’s best-known Japanese artwork has no single original.

It isn’t a painting but a woodblock print: thousands of impressions were pulled from carved blocks, and many museums own one.
Its vivid blue came from Prussian blue, a pigment newly imported from Europe and very fashionable in Japan at the time.
Hokusai was around seventy when he made the series. The tiny mountain framed by the wave is Fuji.
