My piece is about a Japanese boatwoman navigating the sea surrounding Mount Oyamaand meeting the nature spirit responsible for the waves there. The boatwoman is grieving, as every fiancé she’s had has perished in some way, leaving her an outcast in her village, and considered a bad-luck charm for the young men there. In her grief, and to leave her village, the woman cut her hair, stole her father’s hakama and joined a fishing boat’s crew under the guise of being a man. Her presence continued to cause unlucky accidents for her male coworkers, until she was the only fisherman left on the ship. She decided to sail until the sea took her life as well, but instead of a watery grave the woman found a chaotic and bored nature spirit, responsible for the choppy waters and waves she had purposefully sailed into. The spirit’s kimono was made of the sea, her otaiko the Mount Oyama itself, her crescent hair stick is the moon. Her kimono sleeves frothed at the edges, flinging pearls into the sky. The woman saw as the spirit apathetically transformed random pearls into swirling balls of light that floated lazily up into the sky and past the clouds. She realized that those must have been the souls of those who died at sea, and some of them must have been her fellow fishermen. She stood in awe on her boat, just watching, waiting for her own turn to become a pearl. My piece was heavily inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night as well as the Japanese woodblock that inspired it, Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa. One of my personal interests is the effect of Japanese woodblock prints on the western art world, especially the on the post-impressionists (some, including van Gogh, were so into Japanese culture that they were called the newly-coined French term, “Japonisme.”), and I especially adore Hokusai’s work. I took the iconic moon and stars from van Gogh’s piece and the composition, boats, mountain, and wave from Hokusai’s print, molding them to fit together. Instead of a cypress tree in the foreground, like in van Gogh’s piece, I instead drew in a human form holding some oars, putting it in the same place in the foreground as van Gogh’s cypress tree; both are meant as symbols of death and mourning.

my art history prof gave me 100 for this and the essay i turned in with it :3c her class is the only one im not dying in this quarter lmao
