A large Japanese style graphic mural of a crashing wave – a copy of Hokusai's Under the Wave off Kanagawa. The mural, originally painted in 1997, was partially destroyed in 2012 when the building was gutted by an explosion. The community came together to reinstate the mural which included the addition of a volcano. This was to reference both the explosion and the 2011 Fukushima Disaster in Japan, it also has a nuclear sign in the right hand corner. The repainting was done by Morgan Paton and team.
