LEGO Art Hokusai The Great Wave Framed Japanese Wall Art Building Set - Unique 3D Puzzle Wall Decor for Home, Room, or Office - Arts and Crafts for Adults, Ages 18+ - Gift for Mother's Day - 31208

This is a wonderfully crafty set. I love that Lego is using other parts that you wouldn't normally think of to add flair to sets. The flower petals and the birds create a great sense of depth and it still doesn't feel bulky. The frame is impressive and I love how 1) the "painting" just slips right in and 2) how secure it is with all the added pegs. I will say the actual build was kinda on the lower side but it is a stunning display piece. Definitely impressed with this one.

I had no intention of buying this set when I visited my local store until I saw it built and on display, it drew me in like a magnet pulling me across the floor. Photos don't do it justice. The frame adds such a refined, classy, adult finish. The build was a pleasure too. I've never been a Lego art fan, yet it is now my favourite set I've ever bought. If you have doubts, see it on display - you won't regret it.

This has to be my favourite Lego set to date!! It wasn't at the top of my list to buy but then I saw it in the Lego Store and knew it would match my decor perfectly! It is the first Lego Art piece I have built and it was neat to use new techniques. I absolutely LOVED the soundtrack provided to listen to while building, I learned so much about the piece! It was so satisfying clicking the last parts into place to put the picture in the frame! Great set, and I would recommend this to adult builders!!

I absolutely love this set. It was such an easy, relaxing build. Some might think that putting on the flat pieces might get a little overwhelming, but it wasn't too bad. My favorite part was honestly the back. I'm new to larger sets but build small ones all the time so idk how the other art pieces are. I love the amount of attention the back got. I love how all the pieces connected the little rods to help from breaking. i love how the set also had two little pieces where the nails will sit, i can't get over that. I know i should should focus on the front, but the back is just so amazing. This whole lego build was so great!!!

Im an AFOL, I love the build and then the displaying of my LEGO sets. I'm a slow builder, using it as a form of mindfulness when the world around me seems a little crazy, this build took me just short of 3 months, I literally do a few pages a day or every other day or week. Its a simple build but very therapeutic, it was so nice to see how each layer came together to make the Great Wave, great use of some unexpected pieces (the bird pieces) to create the 3d effect. Its amazing to look at, its hung on my wall with a box frame that I made to prevent dust build up. A truly remarkable piece, if you love Japanese art then this is the piece for you.

Being a huge Van Gogh fan the first Art Lego I built was obviously The Starry Night. When Hokusai's Great Wave launched I wasn't initially bothered about buying it but then I remembered reading Van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo and how he mentions often being inspired by Japanese art and would have known The Great Wave well. Indeed experts think the two artworks are linked with Van Gogh being inspired with the position of his cloud/galaxy in Starry Night from the Position of the wave in Hokusai's artwork. I went ahead and bought this and I'm so glad I did. It was a pure joy to build and even the frame building was a joy and very therapeutic. I now have a new appreciation for Hokusai thanks to Lego!!

I tend to buy a variety of sets for both myself and my kids. This was my first art set, and it was the perfect experience for my day off to relax and unwind and take my time building this. I listened to the soundtrack while doing it was was also good to learn about the background to the artwork. It took me about 5 hours including time to sort out the pieces, and I must say the finished product is amazing and looks so much better in person than in the photos online. Would highly recommend. I plan to wall mount this above my home office desk, but have it on a shelf for now.

So pretty to look at once completed Very sturdy frame build but my poor thumbs from all the dots for the background! Was worth it though!

This was such a fun build. The way the painting came to life as I was building was amazing experience. In my top 5 build most definately

This is my first "art" Lego set, and I find it kind of tedious and repetitive to build, which was expected to be fair. Having said this, I love the end result, it looks great. One criticism I can make is that the back of the “painting” could be more reinforced. Just add 2 8x8 where the 4 panes meet and replace the 2x2 with 4x2 bricks. Finally add the 2x6 bricks on the horizontal too. I think I'll do this with mine.
