** Explanation of the picture **
Along with "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" and "Rainstorm Beneath the Summit," this is not only one of Hokusai's three greatest masterpieces, but it is also world-famous, and no other masterpiece is known to so many people.
Amidst the raging, surging waves, the boat carrying the people appears so small and precarious. While the composition is dynamic and thrilling, Hokusai strongly emphasizes the strength of the people against the turbulent waves. The way Mount Fuji in the distance seems to quietly watch over them may reflect the spirit of Hokusai, who was known as the painter of waves and Mount Fuji.
Katsushika Hokusai, 1760 - 1849
This is said to be a work from when he was in his 70s.
