Japanese Dolphin Ukiyo-e Wall Art - Ocean Wave Poster

A playful Japanese art-style poster of a cartoon black dolphin leaping over a curling wave at sunset.

The glossy dolphin, with big round eyes and a small smile, arcs high above a foaming wave inspired by the famous Great Wave print, its claw-like crest curling in teal and cream. A low orange sun sinks behind, and two cream panels of black characters run down the left, the top one beginning with 海豚, meaning dolphin.

There are 40 living species of dolphin, and these aquatic mammals frequently leap above the water's surface. When travelling, jumping can save a dolphin energy, as there is less friction in the air. Dolphins also sleep with only one half of the brain in slow-wave sleep at a time.

Bold black, sunset orange and teal make it a fun, graphic piece for a bathroom, child's room or games room, and a cheerful gift for a dolphin lover. See all our Japanese art prints.
