Karl,
It is VERY UNLIKELY that you just stumbled across an original of the Great Wave Off of Kanagawa. There have been many reproductions of this image, some of which may look convincingly old.
On John Fiorillo's website, in the Frequently Asked Questions section, there is a FAQ: How do I know my print is original?. Everything that you need to know is outlined there.
Who knows? "Sometimes we just get lucky..."
