Hokusai, the most famous of Japanese print artist, interpreted and depicted a landscape which is very similar to the one we are traveling through minus the waves and swells.
a mountainous, partially submerged landscape dominated by the subdued greyish green of the forest, the greenish grey of the water and the greyish white of the low-lying clouds. there is a horizontal strip of greenish brown and grey when the low tide is in. it disappears with the high tide, the algeas and kelp dive under and only the partially mottled grey of the shore rocks are left.
a very magical landscape composed of very few elements but in infinite variations.
