Today I learned...
Aug. 31st, 2022 12:48 pmThe Great Wave Off Kanagawa is that Japanese block print wave picture that you've seen. It's the one everyone has seen. You totally 100% know this picture even if you don't know what it's called.
So, the artist of this picture is Hokusai.
If you spend as much time as I have in certain less-wholesome parts of the internet, you may also have seen the creepy Japanese block print of the nekkid girl and the octopuses. It's called The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife and it is BY THE SAME GUY as the Great Wave picture, which I did not know before today.
But wait, there's more!
The girl-n-octopuses picture has words on it. Go read the linked wikipedia page, there is a translation and it is amazeballs.
All that certain class of manga now makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE.
