That "Big Wave" variation with birds flying over the waves is strikingly beautiful. So dynamic and raw compared to the famous one. And how poetic the shapes of birds rhyme with the shape of waves. I'm gonna have to set aside some time to appreciate Hokusai's works again. Lovely.

The wave is almost like a live character in this one. Like an angry god caught in a moment of fury.

The wave/birds juxtaposition is very Escher-like
