Artwork followers and Japanese tradition buffs might discover themselves with a brand new LEGO set this New Yr’s Day. The corporate introduced right now that it’s set to launch a LEGO Artwork package based mostly on the basic woodblock print The Nice Wave off Kanagawa on January 1, 2023.

The 1,810-piece set options layers and components of assorted shapes to construct the reimagined work of Katsushika Hokusai.
