Description
A modern, tongue-in-cheek take on traditional Edo-era woodcuts, "Namiyo at Hanauma Bay" comes from the Hawaii Snorkel and Wave series, which Teraoka loosely based on Utamaro's "Pearl Diver" series. In this scene, a diver has removed her mask as she senses the tentacles of an octopus caressing her legs.
