Entering Wano: An Ukiyo-e adventure
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Our octopus heralding the entry to Wano seems very inspired by Utagawa Kuniyoshi's 流行蛸のあそび (Ryuko tako no asobi, Fashionable Octopus Games) from the early 1840s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wild and wavy waters of Wano are, of course, a homage to Katsushika Hokusai's 神奈川沖浪裏 (Kanagawa-oki nami ura, Under the Great Wave off Kanagawa).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Koi (carp) are a popular motif in Japanese art, as exemplified by this leaping koi by Ohara Koson from the early 20th century.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But surely riding the koi is a Luffy thing...oh. No! Turns out there are a lot of ukiyo-e pieces of people riding on or fighting giant koi. This 1845 piece by Utagawa Hiroshige shows Oniwakamaru in a fierce battle with a koi that swallowed his mother.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the dangers facing ships trying to enter Wano are lethal maelstroms. Utagawa Hiroshige (same artist as the koi fighting above) created this fantastic woodcut: 阿波 鳴門の風波, (Awa, Naruto no fuuha, Awa Province: Naruto Whirlpools). He also painted this great panorama view of the same scenery.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Sunny has made it through waves and past maelstroms while Luffy played with the koi, and now the last obstacle remains: a giant waterfall. A waterfall that looks a lot like the ~1830 下野黒髪山きりふりの滝 (Kurokami-yama Kirifuri-no-taki, Kirifuri Waterfall at Kurokami Mountain) by Katsushika Hokusai (artist of The Great Wave above).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Good thing koi can climb waterfalls, as pictured here in another piece by Katsushika Hokusai: the ~1834 滝に鯉 (Taki ni koi, Carps in waterfall). And with that, the Strawhats have finally entered Wano!
