LEGO ART Hokusai – The Great Wave Set 31208

Description

The LEGO ART Hokusai – The Great Wave Set 31208 is a masterpiece in itself, inspired by the iconic woodblock print by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai. This set allows you to recreate the famous artwork using over 3,000 LEGO pieces, making it the ultimate collector’s item for any LEGO or art enthusiast.

The set comes with four different build options, giving you the choice to create either a single larger piece or three smaller individual pieces. You can also choose to build the original Great Wave artwork or one of the three alternative designs that feature Mount Fuji, cherry blossoms, or a traditional Japanese wave pattern. This provides endless possibilities for displaying and showcasing your own unique version of this classic artwork.

The build process itself is not only enjoyable, but also a great way to relax and unwind. Each piece of the artwork is built by placing colored LEGO squares on a special grid, following a detailed instruction booklet. This process requires patience and precision, just like the original method of creating woodblock prints. It also allows you to appreciate the intricate details and techniques used in the original artwork.

Once completed, the finished artwork measures over 40cm square and can be proudly displayed on your wall using the included hanging element. The set also comes with a soundtrack featuring interviews with LEGO designers and art historians, as well as interesting information about the history and significance of the Great Wave artwork. This adds a whole new dimension to the set, making it not just a buildable piece of art, but also an educational and informative experience.
