The Plus-Plus Inspired series pays homage to famous cultural expressions through distinctive color palettes. Each item draws inspiration from an artwork, architectural design, or landmark. This series offers boundless creativity for both kids and adults young at heart. Many renowned artists, like Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Gustav Klimt, owned Hokusai prints and credited his work as a major influence. They were particularly drawn to his innovative use of focal point and linear perspective. Among his works, The Great Wave, originally titled Under the Wave off Kanagawa, stands out as a compositional gem. It was the first woodblock print in the 36 Views of Mt. Fuji series. This large, menacing wave, perhaps mistaken for a tsunami, features sharp white tips and imported Prussian blue ink. With Mt. Fuji in the background, it rises above the sailors in their boats, creating a tense and captivating scene. Only less than 100 out of the 1,000 original copies are known to exist today, and original prints from nearly 200 years ago can be seen in major museums worldwide. The Great Wave is not only the most recognizable piece of Japanese art but also one of the most reproduced images in art history.
Using this Plus-Plus Inspired art set is easy and fun. First, open the set and take out the pieces and the leaflet. The leaflet has great ideas to get your creative juices flowing, so take a few minutes to read through it. Then, start arranging the pieces based on your inspiration from Hokusai's The Great Wave. You can work on your creation at home on a table or even take it to the office during breaks. There's no right or wrong way to build - just let your imagination guide you. When you're done with your creation, you can display it proudly at home or in the office. As for maintenance, keep the pieces in a dry place to prevent any damage. If they get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. And remember, this set is for both kids and adults, so enjoy it with your family and friends!
