Japanese art

In such artwork piece one can see many type of conflicts:

The blue colour dominates the whole composition and it's colour is so dominant that one cannot ignore this kind of artwork.
One can see through it the forces of nature strong winds which create such a high waves and the power of the sea which is so strong to handle that it like an untamed aninmal that one cannot control but surrenders to it's forces, this force which from a wave can be transformed into destruction, swipping and clear areas infront of itself.  It's like having a big machine which clears everything on it's way.

Such wave design can be interpreted as a hand wanting to get hold of these man made boats.  Men trying to have control over it's power.
Man going in it's opposite direction is like going into a war that the enemy can be defeated only by facing it and going determinly into it attacking ones opponent and not defending one's position.

This artwork is dominant on it's left side and not forming a whole composition.
It's main focus is the wave it's white small curves are like fingers in a hand which it's inclined position is so dominant.
