Title
Behind the Great Wave at Kanagawa
Description
Modern recut copy of "Behind the Great Wave at Kanagawa" (
神奈川沖波裏
), from 36 Views of Mount Fuji, Color woodcut. Although it is often used in tsunami literature, there is no reason to suspect that Hokusai intended it to be interpreted in that way. The waves in this work are sometimes mistakenly referred to as tsunami (
津波
), but they are more accurately called okinami (
沖波
), great off-shore waves.
Date circa 1930
