The changing aspect of the liquid element fascinated Katsushika Hokusai. Through this representation of a wave mixing several shades of blue and lighter shades corresponding to the foam, he seizes a moment that will remain frozen forever. The viewer’s gaze is engulfed in the intimacy of this breaking wave, whose darker tones evoke an infinite depth. Unquestionably feminine, the overall shape, rather ovoid and enveloping, forms a protective cocoon, in the image of the procreative matrix.u0026nbsp;The work contrasts with Masculine Wave, by the same artist.
