Episode 42: Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa (c. 1829–1831)
“Picture a wave. In the ocean. And it’s there, you can see it, you know what it is, it’s a wave. And then it crashes on the shore, and it’s gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just… a different way for the water to be, for a little while.”
