WHEN THE SEA STANDS TALL by Takumi Sato

A bold homage to traditional ukiyo-e woodblock prints, When the Sea Stands Tall captures the awe and drama of nature in full force. Inspired by Hokusai’s iconic wave, this piece is reimagined with modern richness and balance — towering blue crests clash with calm golden boats, while stylised cherry blossoms and a distant Mount Fuji offer delicate contrast.

Takumi Sato’s composition fuses energy and elegance, with fluid lines and sweeping arcs evoking both turbulence and serenity. Decorative suns and calligraphic flourishes nod to Japanese heritage, grounding the scene in mythic symbolism and seasonal beauty.

Ideal for: lovers of Japanese art, dynamic landscapes, or interiors that crave movement, mood, and tradition reinterpreted. A statement piece with timeless impact.
