About two hundred years ago the world saw an image by Hokusai, a Japanese artist. Now that image is one of the most recognised all over the world. It is a print made with a carved wood block and blue ink. It shows a giant wave in front of a mountain (Fuji). The wave is overwhelming three little boats. Big waves are dangerous: they can drown everything in their way. Waves are used as a metaphor for the current pandemic. We do not want a second wave. Here’s The Wave with a surfer. A surfboard gives a good indication of social distancing, too. How big is a surfboard? More than 2m, it seems - taller than a man.
