"Great Wave off Kanagawa"
This has got to be one of my favourite pieces to date. The deep hue of the waves that curls into crests that become foamy whites is beautifully juxtaposed to Mt. Fuji. Looking at this gives me peace and serenity. Why do I say so? Well, the fact that Mt. Fuji is pictured to be standing behind the waves undisturbed by what is transpiring in the foreground gives a person the sense of stability. That stability to face the harshest conditions, the turbulent waves, the rage of the sea. The ability to remain calm in one's darkest moments (as how the background of Mt. Fuji is darkened and to look at the better days that is to come (as how Mt. Fuji reaches towards the bright and seemingly peaceful sky), it all comes together as a message in life.
