Printed from carved woodblocks, these images answered enormous popular demand: portraits of kabuki actors, courtesans of the Yoshiwara district, famous landscapes, scenes of ordinary life. That mass availability made ukiyo-e the most widely circulated art of pre-modern Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts most famous work remains \u003cstrong\u003eThe Great Wave off Kanagawa\u003c\/strong\u003e, published by Katsushika Hokusai around 1831. A monumental wave with clawed foam is about to come down on three fishing boats while Mount Fuji sits tiny in the background. Thousands of impressions were pulled in Hokusai's own lifetime, and the print went on to shape nineteenth-century French painting — Monet, Van Gogh, Degas and Toulouse-Lautrec all collected and studied Japanese prints, in the movement now called Japonisme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidered medallion pairs the \u003cstrong\u003ewave\u003c\/strong\u003e with a full red sun rising behind the mass of foam, tightening the composition inside a blue circle. Ukiyo-e grammar meeting the solar disc of the flag: two of the country's most legible visual symbols compressed into one image. The circular format recalls the \u003cem\u003eshuin\u003c\/em\u003e seals that pilgrims collect at shrines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape sharpens the red, white and blue by contrast. Wear it with an oversized black sweatshirt, technical trousers and chunky sneakers, or with a heavyweight white tee, linen shorts and sandals for a summer read. The brim is welcome by the sea, in parks and on museum days. Made for people who collect Japanese prints and for anyone who studies where they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756617195867,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756617228635,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756617261403,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756617294171,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-wave-rising-sun-black.jpg?v=1786454168","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-wave-rising-sun","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
