What is the lasting charm of surfing in Kanagawa?

First of all, the print Surfing in Kanagawa itself is very good and expressive. The overall color of the picture is mainly blue, white and tan, which is vivid and lively. The lines of the picture are tense, and the "eagle claw wave" is very distinctive. The asymmetric composition of the picture and the low viewpoint of the picture aggravate the tense atmosphere and make people worry about the sailors in the painting. The crowning touch of surfing in Kanagawa is Mount Fuji. Mount Fuji in the middle of the picture is calm and motionless, which forms a dramatic contrast with the big waves and ships in the foreground. To some extent, the contrast between static and dynamic is a contradictory synthesis, just like the mountain city of Japan or Japan itself. The mountain city has both beautiful appearance and terrible lethality. Japan not only has Wabi-Sabi things like Zen Temple, Tea Ceremony and Flower Road in Kyoto, but also the most fierce warrior in the world: samurai, and launched a world war. Therefore, "surfing in Kanagawa" can be regarded as one of the most representative symbols in Japan, alongside the mountain city flag and "Sun Maru".
