File talk:The Great Wave off Kanagawa.jpg

Please note that there are many different versions of images derived from the original painting. Please do not confuse different images of different prints, often even the untrained eye can see the clouds and sea stray are different between versions. A large print of an image of a different print does not 'supersede' another, they are images of different prints, it is irrelevant that they depict the same scene. This is not an image of the version held at Metropolitan Museum of Art but from a different, unspecified, source. --Tony Wills 23:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Please note that according to en:The Great Wave off Kanagawa, the painting at the Met is a copy. There is another copy at the British Museum, and a third copy. Not sure where the original is? -Aude (talk | contribs) 00:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

This link explains something about the different versions, [1] suggesting that the final print had more "stunning use of color." Maybe the Met copy is an older copy, but not sure where the final print is. Would be great to figure that out, and sort out confusion. I'm trying to get input from Japanese users who might know more. -Aude (talk | contribs) 00:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

• See the other discussions - this is the 1930s repro, and now badly mislabelled. Johnbod 13:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I have corrected the labelling on the file. Johnbod 00:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

It's also horrible. The size is completely wrong. I don't know why but somebody scrunched it. Seriously compare to the MET's collections of the original woodprint uploaded [2] and tell me this thing shouldn't be like 10% wider. I mean sure maybe the 1930 reprinting screwed it up, but it's terrible. Tatarize (talk) 07:55, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

NM, when set to the same width it becomes clear the original had more sky. Tatarize (talk) 08:01, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

source?

Aude, could you please provide a precise source?
-If you picked the file from the internet - please provide a URL.
-If you digitized it yourself, then please state so and therefore please specify the location or the book you took as source, e.g. giving the ISBN number. If possible add pagenumber.
-If you made a diagramm yourself - please provide your Template or data-source
Thanks in advance. --Itu (talk) 10:52, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

It was renamed from File:Tsunami by hokusai 19th century.jpg. I believe the source is the Met, but don't know exactly who the photographer is. (though it's public domain) Aude (talk) 17:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
