## Caption

The instantly recognizable The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Japanese: 神奈川沖浪裏) just sold at auction, setting a record as the highest price a Hokusai work has gone for. ⁠The woodblock print sold for HK$21.7 million (US$2.8 million) at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, nearly tripling its high estimate.
⁠
The work is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai (1760–1849), created in late 1831 during the Edo period of Japanese history.⁠
