New Auction Record Set for Iconic Japanese Print "The Great Wave"

This famous Japanese woodblock print was sold almost 3 times its high estimate at HK $21.7 million / US $2.8 million.

During the Masterpieces of Asian Art from the Okada Museum of Art Auction, Sotheby's Hong Kong set a new record for Katsushika Hokusai’s ‘The Great Wave: Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa-oki nami-ura)’ from the artist’s famed ‘Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji’ series.
