There’s rumoured LEGO Art set coming in 2023 of The Great Wave off Kanagawa, but it’s not the first time it’s been done. The Great Wave off Kanagawa, created as a woodblock print in 1831 by the artist Hokusai is one of the most famous pieces of Japanese art. The rumour mill suggests that, in the footsteps of the Ideas set, 21333 Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night, The Great Wave will also be replicated as a LEGO set. This time, however, it’s likely to be as part of the Art theme, rather than Ideas.
