With LEGO expanding its range of sets to adults more and more each, it's no surprise that a brand new LEGO Art set has been officially revealed for 2023. In particular, this set is 31208 Hokusai - The Great Wave based on the woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai. Even though the set has already leaked and been found in stores, 31208 will be available in less than a weeks time on 1st January 2023.
The original woodblock print measures 26 x 38 cm and is one of the most famous Japanese prints ever. The LEGO version, including 1,810 pieces has similar dimensions to the original but is actually 52 x 39 cm. The big wave will be made up of a mixture of 1x1 rounded tiles arranged in a mosaic with other various large plates.
This makes the set similar to this year's LEGO Art set of 31206 The Rolling Stones and also comes close to the LEGO Ideas set 21333 Vincent Van Gogh - The Starry Night. However, this LEGO Art set will retail for a relatively low price of $99.99 and, as already mentioned, is available from 1st January 2023. For the first time in a LEGO Art set, a tan-coloured frame is also included in this $100 set.
