Six years after the creation of Spring at Enoshima, Hokusai published View of Honmoku off Kanagawa, a prototype of the Great Wave off Kanagawa. Although the direction of the surf may be opposite, the theme is the sea off Kanagawa, the composition of the ship being tossed about, and the raging waves are the same as the famous pictures of the waves that came later. Fast Cargo Boat Battling The Waves, created in 1805, was similar in composition to the Great Wave off Kanagawa, and the ships also became cargo boats. But this painting seems to have been strongly influenced by Western copper engravings.
