Concise Illustrated Biography of Monk Nichiren: Calming the Stormy Sea at Tsunoda in Exile to Sado Island
A traditional Japanese woodblock print depicts a dramatic scene. A boat with a pointed bow rides turbulent waves on the right side. The boat contains four people; one at the bow wears a distinctive red headscarf and faces left, while the others are huddled together. Large blue waves dominate the left and center, with white foam cresting at the top. In the background, dark clouds loom and a mountain range is visible. The color palette includes shades of blue, orange, and gray. Japanese characters are inscribed vertically on the left side of the print.
