Bring one of the most iconic works of Japanese art into your interior with The Great Wave off Kanagawa Hand-Tufted Rug by Mayur Rugs. Based on Katsushika Hokusai’s famous woodblock print Under the Wave off Kanagawa, commonly known as The Great Wave, this handcrafted rug captures the dramatic curling wave, foamy white crest, deep blue water, boats, and Mount Fuji composition that made the artwork an enduring icon of Japanese art. The original print dates to around 1830–1832 and belongs to Hokusai’s Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji series.

The Great Wave off Kanagawa is already widely used as a rug and home décor design, with current listings describing it as a Japanese art rug, Hokusai rug, Great Wave rug, Japanese wave rug, and area rug. Hand-tufted versions are also offered in wool, including New Zealand wool constructions.

The powerful wave composition gives this rug a dramatic yet sophisticated artistic presence, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, libraries, studios, creative spaces, Japanese-inspired interiors, and contemporary homes.

Handmade in India using Premium Imported New Zealand Wool, this rug features a 16–20mm dense hand-tufted pile, luxurious softness, and strong export-quality backing for exceptional durability and premium handcrafted finishing. Custom sizes are available with worldwide shipping.
