Very interesting, I have never seen the earlier versions before. I wonder why I can't find a Fuji in two of those, because The Great Wave is part of a "Views of Mt. Fuji" series.
Painted on cloudy days.
Lol, that would be such a troll move in a series of Fuji paintings. As far as I known Hokusai painted mainly two things, landscapes including Mt. Fuji and explicit porn scenes. He was a trained Mt. Fuji Painter, which is a respected craft with a specialized apprenticeship in Japan btw.
Well, notice the final version does include Fuji. For some reason OP neglected to post it, so here: Sea is for Cookie
(and yes, this was a random encounter!)
Hahaha, I love it!
