I want to talk in my essay about the re-purposing of traditional Japanese Woodblock for example, Hokusai's 'The Great Wave' which is a really popular and famous piece. I want to relate this to Barthes and his 'ownership' and 'authorship' piece, much like what I did in the study task. I think this will really help to make my essay not just about the traditional, but how it now communicates in the modern era. Does this communicate authorship? Or is repurposing the best thing for gathering interest on our history?
