Fuji” on its cover. Debussy was inspired by Hokusai's masterpiece, the ukiyo-e woodblock print of "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa" and composed the orchestral score “LA MER” between 1903 and 1905.

Since the original woodblocks from the Edo period have deteriorated, modern craftsmen create new ones from original drawings to reproduce the finest details.
