With its distinctive blue and white ceramic base, this piece is drawn directly from the tumultuous yet serene world of Hokusai'sThe Great Wave off Kanagawa.
The porcelain base, with its intricate blue patterns on a white ground, mirrors the iconic towering wave itself. The broad, pleated fabric lampshade, in its subdued, warm tone, offers a stark contrast to the lively base, much like Mount Fuji, against the overwhelming power of the wave. The brass accents, particularly at the base and neck, evoke the subtle, golden light of the dawn sky.
