The poem "A Japanese Wood-Carving" has as its theme option A. Art can harness the beauty of the outside world.
<h3>What is theme?</h3>
In literature, theme is the underlying message or idea in a literary work. In other words, it is the message that an author wishes to convey. In the poem we are analyzing here, the theme revolves around art.
The speaker describes a piece of art made of wood. First, she explains what the wood experienced, so to speak, when it was a tree in the forest. Then, she explains that, once carved, that wood conveys a completely different idea.
The carved wood conveys the images and ideas of the artist about the outside world. It shows waves and birds, rather than trees and leaves. That piece of wood, through the hands of the artist, harnessed a beautiful image.
