It is usually fleece, usually one flat colour, usually bought in a hurry, and it lives crumpled at one end of the sofa where everyone can see it. Nobody chose it. This is the same object with the decision put back in: the same thing you pull over your legs during a film, except when it is lying there unfolded it looks like a print you hung on purpose. The wave does the work a cushion never quite manages — one image, big enough to read from across the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Classic Great Wave Throw Blanket detail view of the printed wave\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/6433\/1932\/files\/8_enhanced_1fe93e53-6d77-4eab-baa0-6101197db29d.jpg?v=4503764300%20cm%20style=\" display: block margin-left: auto margin-right:\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the print registration matters more than anything else here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a solid blanket, quality shows in the hand. With a printed one, it shows in the edges. Hokusai's wave is built from fine white claws of foam against deep blue, and a soft or shifted print turns those into a blurry smear — that is the difference between a piece that reads as artwork and one that reads as a souvenir. Look at the crest where the foam breaks into fingers: the definition is held there, and the deep blue stays deep rather than going patchy across the trough. That is the part you are paying for, and it is the part that decides whether you still like it in two years or quietly retire it to the car boot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it actually looks like in a room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolded in thirds over a sofa arm\u003c\/strong\u003e — you get a slice of the wave, mostly blue with a band of foam.
