    Is there supposed to be something sexually explicit about the Wave off Kanagawa? Because I think that's a reach.

In my bedroom, I planned to paint a mural of The Wave on the wall next to the bed. I think there's something very energetic about it, although perhaps not strictly sexual. I drew the whole thing out and bought the paint, but then decided to sell the place. Never painted it, because I thought that whoever bought the place probably would be turned off by it. Conceptually, I love The Wave.
