Great Wave Massenot Veronique
On a stormy winter's day, a baby boy, Naoki, is swept into a fisherman's boat by a great wave. Must he return to the ocean in order to become a young man? Years pass, but still Naoki does not grow.
Japanese artist Hokusai is one of the world's most celebrated printmakers. The answer arrives in the form of a mythic fish. His famous woodcut, 'The Great Wave', epitomizes the artist's characteristic techniques and themes.
In this children's book, the artist's masterpiece is the genesis for a simple but compelling story, beautifully illustrated in pictures that recall Hokusai's brilliant use of detail, perspective and colour. A stunning reproduction of the woodcut itself is featured in the book, supplemented by information about the artist and his work. At once modern and classic, The Great Wave introduces young readers to a beloved artist and his timeless portrayals of nature and transformation.
