The Big Wave is a 1948 children's story by Pearl S. Buck, about two boys who grow up on the coast of Japan. Kino is the son of a farmer, who lives with his parents and younger sister, Setsu, on a mountainside farm overlooking a seaside village. Jiya is the son of a fisherman, who lives with his parents and elder brother in the seaside village. One day, a tsunami destroys the village, and Jiya, orphaned, comes to live with Kino and his family.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Arc Words: "Life is stronger than death." Repeatedly stated by Kino's father, to remind him that, despite tragedy, life still goes on.

Foreshadowing: Prior to the tsunami, Kino's father and Jiya warn him about the danger they face from the sea and a nearby volcano. Although the tsunami is the immediate cause of the village's destruction, the volcano also plays a role in the disaster.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
