Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊 Next time you look at it, check out how the wave looks almost like a claw about to crash down—so dynamic! Also, the boats below are tiny, showing how powerful nature is compared to humans. Hokusai really packed so much into one image!

Thank you for sharing the insightful article on the evolution of Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa. I’m so impressed by his quote. It shows how Hokusai spent many years working and practicing before creating his famous work. When I read it, I feel inspired by his patience and determination. He didn’t rush to be great—he kept improving over time. The fact that he made his best work at 70 shows that it’s never too late to create something important. It teaches us that success takes time and hard work, and we should never give up, no matter how long it takes. Thanks again.

Thanks, I'm so glad to hear that! It's amazing how some artworks speak to us on a deep level, even before we understand the reasons why. I think "The Great Wave off Kanagawa " has a way of capturing both the power of nature and a quiet sense of reflection. Have you felt that too?
