Unusual skatebaord design using a vintage woodblock print, known as ukiyoe in Japanese, of a whirlpool. This image looks perfect on the skateboard and would be perfect for those skateboarders who also love the ocean and to surf.

Waves by Konen Uehara
Konen Uehara was a artist who specialised in the woodblock print style, otherwise known as Ukiyo-e. This waves print is not his most famous, but the different blues of the water and the way in which the movement of the waves is captured, makes it a wonderful print.
Visit JapaneseInspirations to see the range of products this print is available on. Below shows the print on a coffee mug, showing both views to see the way in which it beuatifully wraps around the mug.
