Inspired by this thread, I just reread it. There's a reproduction with the original woodblock print images, which was useful because I didn't have that when I read this story as a teenager.
Damn! That's super cool. I have shown the wave to my kids but I often tell them that artists are not always what we know of them. This is a superb demonstration ! Thanks for posting ! (usually I'd use l' "origine du monde" by Courbet)
