The Big Wave (Bolshaya Volna)

Baby Naoki appeared on a windy winter day -
thrown by a large wave into the boat of Taro the fisherman.
Seven years have already flown by, and Naoki still hasn’t grown.
Perhaps he will find a clue in the ocean:
what’s going on here?
And this is what will happen: the answer will be brought to him
by a huge silver fish...

The author and illustrator created this poetic story under the inspiration of Hokusai’s famous woodblock print “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”.
