Rough Waves, 波濤図屏風, Edo period (1615–1868), ca. 1704–9, Japan, Two-panel folding screen; ink, color, and gold leaf on paper, Image: 57 11/16 x 65 1/8 in. (146.5 x 165.4 cm), Screens, Ogata Kōrin (Japanese, 1658–1716), Many artists and poets of the East and West alike have striven to capture the transitory and fleeting image of swelling waves. Kōrin’s rendition—one of Japan’s most striking representations of this amorphous, ungraspable form—has a strangely menacing feel, due no doubt to the long, tentacle-like fingers of foam, punctured here and there by openings
