0 March 11th Earthquake in Japan

Earthquake Location from USGS data

Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849)
Great Wave of Kanagawa (woodblock print, about 1820) with eerie similarities to the beautiful tsunami travel times map above.  In fact, that's what I thought at first I was looking at - a wonderful Hokusai print.  Ironic.
