Hokusai Night Wave Gold Moon Print | Ukiyo-e Wall Art

A Japanese night wave print for a bedroom that winds down after dark. Navy and white waves roll under a starry sky, their bands edged in gold, and a full gold moon hangs above. It is the ukiyo-e wave turned to night: quiet, deep and a little glamorous.

About the artwork

Navy, white and gold make up the palette. The waves are drawn in navy and white bands, each edged in gold, and they sit under a starry night sky with a full gold moon. Three small dots in navy, blue and beige note the colors. The lettering reads HOKUSAI and JAPAN, with a short line of Japanese characters. A new woodblock-style design inspired by Hokusai, made for low evening light. Portrait.

Why you'll love it

• Made for evening light. The navy sky and gold moon suit a bedroom lit by lamps rather than daylight.
• Gold where it counts. Only the moon and the wave edges are gold, so the warmth stays an accent.
• A starry sky. Stars scattered across the navy give the sky detail without clutter.
• Easy color matching. Three small dots in navy, blue and beige show the palette for bedding and throws.
• Made to order. Printed after you buy, colour-managed, never warehoused.

Styling it at home

Hang it above the bed in a room with deep blue, charcoal or warm white walls. Navy or beige linen bedding, brass lamps and dark wood bedside tables all pick up its colors. A 24" x 36" print fills a queen headboard wall; 18" x 24" suits a smaller room or the wall above a dresser. Choose a black or espresso solid wood floating frame to deepen the night sky. Pair it with a brass lamp or a small round mirror nearby to repeat the moon.

Shipping and care

Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.

Questions people ask

Is a navy print too dark for a small bedroom? Not if the walls are light. The white wave bands and gold moon lift the navy, and 18" x 24" keeps it in proportion in a smaller room.

What bedding goes with this print? Navy, beige or white bedding matches the palette shown in the three small dots on the print. Brass or warm wood accents echo the gold moon.

Did Hokusai make this print? No. It is a new design inspired by Hokusai, who lived from 1760 to 1849. His name and the word JAPAN are lettered on the sheet as part of the design.
