Delving into a famous work of Japanese art

  1. That drawing is also the inspiration for the tsunami icon, not so oddly.

    However, I did not know that the artist created both the wave picture and the "tentacle erotica" picture. Heh! Guy definitely had an imagination.

  2. I used to have a print of Dali's Swans Reflecting Elephants, it was like that.

    The more you looked at it the more you saw. I owned it for years and still occasionally found something I'd not noticed before.
    I'll have to get that Wave print, just to look at it to see what I can see.

  3. V: I had to look that one up; very interesting.

    I don't know about Japanese art, but I've seen quite a few examples from various periods, and I love the striking colors that characterize the 18th and 19th century woodblock creations.
