The Great Wave pillow is a pattern from my second book, Gallery. This book is based on iconic paintings by the greatest masters of time, including Hokusai’s Great Wave of Kanagawa- on which this pattern is based. The book is retiring soon; therefore, the patterns are also available individually as a download.
