Hokusai's Wave in the background strikes me. I have a precious little book from Japan with 24 prints of of the views of Mt. Fuji and a poem for each one.  The poems are by by Easley Stephen Jones, a young officer of the American Red Cross stationed in Tokyo in the 1920 -21.. He bought a souvenir booklet of Hokusai's 36 Views of Mt. Fuji.(The prints had first come out in the 1820's.) Professor Jones wrote poems to go with the different prints. Here is "Wave and Shroud":

"Into the restless deep

The ghostly barges creep.

   Who are they?

   Lashed with the spray,

Bold as the fearless dead?

 

   Who are those

   To spurn repose

Safe in an earth-warm bed?"

Blessings,
