7. by the way ... this painting
The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai, a wood block print was published sometime between 1830 and 1833 during the Edo period. Its my guess the Japanese have been dealing with Huge waves for a long, long time. This is the most famous of his series that feature Mt. Fuji.



And as someone pointed out, nearly 600 years ago, Buddhist monks posted that there were certain areas far more safer to live, then by the shore line.
