I've used it as wallpaper, owing to its high resolution:)--K.C. Tang 06:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Which article does this represent? What is the subject? I want to support this, but the name is tsunami, and the description says it is not a tsunami, this makes the subject unclear. HighInBC 02:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment according to the Hokusai article, the name of this painting should be In the Hollow of a Wave off the Coast at Kanagawa from Series of Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. Somebody should rename the title. —Jared Hunt September 12, 2006, 03:23 (UTC)
  - There's some discussion about the translation of the name on Talk:Hokusai. Basically, "In the Hollow of..." is a really fancy translation. The title is "Kanagawa okinami ura" which literally would be "Behind the Kanagawa big wave." I asked on the talk page for a citation of that translation. howch e ng {chat} 23:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, ignoring the possibility that there may be other images on the web. If better images of the same or higher quality are found with a suitable license, I will oppose this image, but for now, I think this is a good scan on a famous piece of art. --Tewy 03:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support - I've never seen a scan of this at comparable quality. mstroeck 12:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose due to what looks like amateurish retouching of parts of the sky (dust or spot removal) - see the blotches that eradicate the underlying paper texture? --Janke | Talk 13:38, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment um, i don't know if anybody's aware or not...this image is already an FP--Vircabutar 19:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I see that it's featured on Commons, and there was a duplicate nomination for FPC here, but I can't find any evidence that it was ever featured on the English Wikipedia. Where are you seeing this? Commons featured picture criteria are different from Wikipedia featured picture criteria, if that's what you mean. --Tewy 21:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
