Japanese term or phrase: 長崎からの大いなる流れ
Hello. I need some assistance please. I am having trouble with this phrase. It will be used as the title for an art exhibition. I know that it is not that difficult, but art related translations are not my forté. Any and all suggestions would be extremely helpful.

English translation:The Deluge from Nagasaki
Explanation:
Or The Flood/Tide from Nagasaki. I am guessing that this is referring to artistic trends, but I believe that you can use a direct translation without losing the metaphorical context.

I chose "Deluge" because I liked the word.
