re: #116 Barefoot Grin

Thank you! By the way, Hokusai’s “Great Wave” is one of my favorite images. Your work is amazing. There used to be an interesting BBC documentary about the image, life of Hokusai, and the hydrodynamics of the wave on youtube, but I can’t find it now.

Edited: I just looked at the link. I’m ordering Kip Thorne’s book tonight. The boy has read “the elegant universe” so this seems like a good step.

It’s a favorite of mine as well. Have a poster of it hanging on the wall for the last 20+ years. Need to look for more of that stuff to finish the decor of my “Oriental Room”*.

* - I call it that since the wall decorations are:
An embroidery dragon (red on white) in a round design
Museum print of “The Great Wave”
Two gold dragons embroidered on red silk
Japanese tea set
Two prints on rice paper of samurai
Ink image on scroll of a dragon
