Inside a Hokusai Wave

“A panoramic scene rendered in the style of Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e woodblock prints, with crisp linework and flat planes of Prussian blue, ivory, and pale ochre. Foreground shows a curling claw-like wave with fingers of foam reaching toward a wooden fishing boat full of crouched rowers gripping oars. Midground reveals two more boats riding lesser swells, oars angled against the surge. Background shows a tiny snow-capped Mount Fuji rising against a banded peach sky, the whole composition flattened to a graphic woodcut.”
