The work has inuenced a number of later artists such

Khnop, and Pablo Picasso.* [13] Picasso painted his
own version in 1903 that has been shown next to Hokusai's original in exhibits on the inuence of 19th-century
Japanese art on Picasso's work.* [14] In 2003 a derivative work by Australian painter David Laity, also titled
The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife, sparked a minor
obscenity controversy when it was shown at a gallery
in Melbourne; after receiving multiple complaints Melbourne police investigated, but determined it did not
break the city's pornography laws.* [15]* [16] Hokusai's
print has had a wide inuence on the modern JapaneseAmerican artist Masami Teraoka, who has created a
number of images of women, including a recurringpearl
divercharacter, being pleasured by cephalopods as a
symbol of female sexual power.* [17]
