The Great Wave: A Children’s Book Inspired by Hokusai

Hokusai's classic woodcut of a majestic wave becomes the starting point for the story of baby boy Naoki, who is swept into a fisherman's boat by a great wave; though years pass, Naoki does not grow and wonders if he must return to the ocean in order to become a young man. Includes a stunning reproduction of the woodcut itself, supplemented by information about the artist and his work.
