Ocean Wave Socks — Japanese Art Print Unisex | Sokkussu

Ocean Wave Socks — Hokusai's Great Wave, on Your Feet Every Day

Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (1831) is arguably the most reproduced image in Japanese art history and one of the most recognizable compositions in the world. The foaming crest curling over three small fishing boats, with Mount Fuji miniaturized in the background, captures a moment of terrifying natural power with a grace that has made the print a defining image of Japanese aesthetics for nearly two centuries. The original woodblock print was produced as part of Hokusai's series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji."

Sokkussu's Ocean Wave Socks render Hokusai's iconic wave in jacquard-knit 85% combed cotton — the deep indigo blues and the dramatic foaming crest, preserved in knitwear that carries the design's energy into your daily wardrobe.

About the Design

Hokusai's use of Prussian blue — a synthetic pigment newly available in Japan in the 1820s — gives the wave its characteristic cool, deep navy tone that photographic reproductions often struggle to capture. The Sokkussu design honours that palette, rendering the wave's drama in the deep blues that made the original so visually striking.
