The Great Wave off Kanagawa (神奈川沖浪裏) is Hokusai’s most famous work, and one of the most recognisable works of Japanese art in the world. Above is my unfinished oil painting inspired by the original wood block print.
In Japan the picture is typically read right to left, unlike the West where we flow with the wave. To the original audience it looks much more frightening. In the Edo period, when this art was created, Japan was in the midst of isolationist foreign policies. Massive change came with the Meiji Restoration just over 150 years ago. Japan opened up to the World.
We live in dramatic times of change amongst the waves of the Information Revolution. While products and services are being adapted to compete, the businesses that create and support them are also undergoing a digital transformation. Embracing information technology brings with it an exposure to evolving cyber threats.
