"The Wave" Displeases Plato

Hokusai wasted his time when he created "The Wave" for it is not the Ideal Wave. It is not even close to this ideal form because it has unrealistic characteristics. The painting also contains a mountain or volcano, and people in boats. I truly believe the Ideal Wave would not have words on its side, would be more powerful, and would appear realistic. In that same manner, the mountain/volcano in the background would me a more striking feature were it the Ideal Mountain or Volcano (presumably there would also be a distinction as to which of the two it truly was). The people in their boats that appear in Hokusai's painting are barely discernible, and therefore were a waste of effort to paint because there was not even an effort to create these objects in their ideal forms. Hokusai would have better spent his time studying instead of creating a useless piece of work such as "The Wave".
