This little woodcut is one of his "36 Views of Mt. Fuji" from the 1820's. I love how prominent is the wave and how perilous is the situation for that long boat in the foreground, yet the picture is ostensibly a view of Mt. Fuji, which is dwarfed in the background.

I love the stylistic & grammatical construction of your description of this woodcut. I've silently cheered many of your posts for the manner in which you express yourself...it's about time I do so verbally.
