When asked to compare Katsushika Hokusai's Great Wave Off Kanagawa and Gustave Courbet's The Wave, the following two points were identified: whether the pictures have drama, and whether they capture the wave structurally from the novel viewpoint of at sea. Genpei Akasegawa's Great Wave Off Kanagawa features in a Japanese language textbook used at the middle school affiliated with the Miyagi University of Education, but does wording that one might assume to be inspired by it appear on worksheets, or not? This was also taken into account. We set out to rank art appreciation ability with a view to exploring the status of these three. First, a pattern was recognized that seemed slightly lacking, in that there was no awareness of drama in the work, and theme was confined to the dynamics of the wave; second, a pattern in which despite being receptive in class to plastic properties and then aesthetic properties, when it came to sensitivity to theme, these were completely discarded for total reliance on preconceptions; and third, a pattern that achieves subjective appreciation, while based on the writings of Akasegawa. For a method of art appreciation of the third type to be realized involves a certain level of art-appreciation ability, and a response to the reading experience, and here aspects of these were investigated.
