If you want to show the world (or simply your friends, family and acquaintances) that you not only have [good taste in books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booksy), but in art and decor as well, then I suggest you pick up a set of the Uprisings Bookend.

Designed by Munky King, the Uprisings Bookend is modeled after the [Japanese woodblock print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nakajimaya-crossing) The Great Wave off Kanagawa by [Hokusai](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-hokusai-the-great-wave). Only 400 were put into production, so you better act fast.
