Art Globe Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji: The Great Wave off Kanagawa

About the productJapanese

Among the 46 ukiyo-e prints of Katsushika Hokusai's Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, The Great Wave off Kanagawa is known as one of the most famous. The Art Globe Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji The Great Wave off Kanagawa expresses the charm of this work, known worldwide as the Great Wave, in a sphere. GINZA TSUTAYA BOOKS will be exhibiting and selling this item earlier than anywhere else.

The production was done by Hyoe Ishida, who has previously created art globes as Starbucks novelties, music videos, and props for TV dramas. While they are commonly called snow globes in Japan and snow globes around the world, Ishida uses the name Art Globe, which is not bound by seasonality, to create his works. He is an artist who uses spheres as a microcosm to encapsulate his own imaginary worlds, paintings, and scenes from movies, and express them in three dimensions.

Art Globe requires careful attention to the accuracy of details due to the nature of the sculptures inside appearing 150% larger than their actual size. When designing, detailed consideration is given to how to trim a rectangular painting into a circle, and how it will look from angles not shown in the original. After that, the base model is enlarged through various processes such as clay modeling, 3D scanning, and digital printing, and fine details are adjusted to complete the work. Ishida himself says that "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" is his favorite painting, which he has copied many times since he was a child. In addition to the strength and dynamism of the original painting, you can fully feel the depth and three-dimensionality unique to Art Globe, making this small art piece-like work a great gift.
