Description: Time stamp:
0:00 an amateur pencil-drawing of Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"

This is a binaural ASMR, 3-hour, no-talking, free-hand pencil drawing attempt at probably the most famous Japanese painting ever: Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," also known as The Great Wave, or simply The Wave.

The early19th century Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai's original is actually a woodblock print (initially painted on paper, then pressed and sort of stamped onto hard wood to be carved) from which copies can be pressed until the wood wears down. It was published sometime between 1829 and 1833 in the late Edo period of Japan; a period of about 200 years (1641-1853), where all of Japan was forcibly closed to contact from the rest of world by its emperor (with a very small exception for highly restricted Chinese, Korean, and Dutch trade in a single port).

It was the first print in Hokusai's series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (which was sold as a collection). The image depicts an enormous wave threatening three fast fishing boats off the coast in the Sagami Bay (Kanagawa Prefecture) while Mount Fuji rises in the background to the southwest. Sometimes assumed to be a tsunami, the wave is more likely to be a large rogue wave.

It is Hokusai's most famous work and is often considered the most recognizable work of Japanese art in the world.
