Notes

Tokyo 2020, art poster created for the Paralympic Games entitled “The Sky above the Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa” by Hirohiko ARAKI. Inspired by the famous print by Katsushika Hokusai (1830-1831), “The Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa”, this poster shows the gods of sport descending on Japan. The manga artist says that he had trouble deciding on the colour of Mount Fuji, but finally opted for a honey colour. Donated by the OCOG
