The Great Wave Origami Lantern

A fresh take on a classic Japanese paper craft, Origami Lanterns are beautiful and fun way to enhance any décor or event. The Lantern is rechargeable and folds flat, and when opened, it twists to expand to three different sizes.  The LED lantern emits a warm, dimmable light and comes with a carrying/hanging strap and a USB-C charging cord.

 

The lantern features Hokusai's iconic woodblock print "Great Wave Off Kanagawa". Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) was a Japanese painter and printmaker of the Edo period. He is best known for a woodblock print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji and the "Great Wave Off Kanagawa." Hokusai did not begin this series until the age of 70. Perhaps the idea of immortality associated with Mount Fuji in Japanese culture contributed to his obsession with the subject. In his most celebrated print, Mount Fuji is small in the distance as a wave curls over ocean-tossed boats. After his death, Hokusai’s prints influenced notable Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists such as Monet, Degas, and van Gogh.
