Organize your desk or workspace with our handsome paperweight featuring a detail from Katsushika Hokusai’s (Japanese, 1760–1849) Under the Wave off Kanagawa, also known as The Great Wave (ca. 1830–32). This timeless woodblock print is one of the most recognized compositions in the history of art, and is a highlight of The Met collection.
