Pesce terremoto (Namazu) — Storia e analisi

I pericoli insiti nella natura giapponese si riflettono anche nell'arte. Questi oggetti sono spesso progettati con un sottile umorismo. Questo pesce gatto rappresenta il namazu: un pesce mitico che, secondo la leggenda, giace sotto le isole del Giappone e provoca terremoti.
