Description: This design is from the series of 10 prints titled 'Chie no umi' and this version was published by the Takamizawa Company in the immediate post-war period, as part of a very large set of Hokusai reproductions.

The original title has a bit of a double meaning, using the kanji for 'One Thousand Pictures of the Ocean' (千絵の海 ); however, when it is read aloud it can also be interpreted as 'Oceans of Wisdom' (知恵の海).

This print has slight creases. Our sharp top-light has made the waviness stand out vividly; it's actually not quite so disruptive ... Also, there are a few slight foxing spots in the upper left area.
