Someone, elsewhere, has pointed out to me the connection of this curve with "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849).

Surprising! I think Hokusai didn't know much about fractals or the Koch curve but, as a great artist, he could see beyond...

Hokusai: the Great Wave that swept the world

He called himself Old Man Crazy To Paint and made his best work in his 70s. As his dragons, deities, poets and wrestlers go on show, we look at the obsessions of the poster-boy for Japanese art

@sfera314 I didn't say so but I also noticed a similarity, and I'm probably not the only one. When talking about waves it's a famous picture one has in mind I guess.
