[Kannon is the Japanese form of the Bodhisattva of Compassion,
the one here depicted, in female aspect, is in Fukushima Prefecture.
'Great Wave' is a reference to the famous woodblock print by Hokusai,a detail of which is reproduced above with lettering I did using a Japanese brush
- as well as to the tsunami of course.]
