Proportion

Katsushika Hokusai, From the Illustrations to 100 poems by 100 poets: Fujiwara no Toshiyuki Ason, 9th CE: Two lovers in a sailboat, hidden before the eyes of the world
Proportion refers to the relationship between the parts of an object and the whole or to the relationship between an object and its surroundings. In this Hokusia’s drawing, Two lovers in a sailboat, hidden before the eyes of the world the boat is the main object in the drawing and we can’t even see the two lovers in the sailboat. It illustrates the importance of the location regardless who’s inside the boat.
