Product specs

The Great Wave takes Hokusai’s celebrated woodblock print as the starting point for a story about a boy named Naoki. Swept into a fisherman’s boat by a huge wave as a baby, Naoki grows older without growing bigger, until a mythic fish and the sea itself become part of his journey toward change.

Key features

  • Story imagery draws on Hokusai’s use of detail, perspective and dramatic natural forms.
  • Includes a reproduction of The Great Wave and information about the artist.
  • Bruno Pilorget’s illustrations create a visual bridge between the fictional tale and Hokusai’s printmaking.
