Background Knowledge The Big Wave could have happened in real life, so its genre is realistic fiction. A small Japanese fishing village is hit by a destructive tidal wave. Survivors of a physical disaster is typically followed by an emotional trauma. Pearl S. Buck lived at one time in a little Japanese house on a hillside above the sea, overlooking a small fishing village on the beach below it. One summer, a big awave came up and washed the village away. The book, The Big Wave, grew out of her memory of this event. And so, in a way, the story of Jiya and Kino may be said to be a true one.
