I wonder if the readers of Wochi Kochi Magazine know that a design similar to an ukiyo-e by Katsushika Hokusai was used on the cover of the first version of the musical score for Debussy's The sea, three symphonic sketches for orchestra. In the recently released movie, Gauguin Voyage de Tahiti directed by Edouard Deluc, there is a scene in which Gaugin, played by Vincent Cassel, gazes at a drawing of this ukiyo-e. At the time, Japanese ukiyo-e fascinated many artists in Paris, and that artwork had a significant impact.
