Tsunami Books – A Tidal Wave in the Sky

I love Hokusai, the Japanese woodblock artist who created the set: “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji” and of that set I particularly I love  “The Wave” (pictured below). So I was naturally drawn to Tsunami Books and their homage to Hokusi’s great work.


Besides having a great mural Tsunami Books is a wonderful bookstore with a fine collection of books, a great vibe and a stage where they host weekly live music and poetry readings.  


It’s such a long mural that I’m showing it in two photographs in order to reasonably show more of its detail.



There is also a very nice painting on one of Tsunami ‘s unused front doors. Tsunami is located at 2585 Willamette Street.
