This is just awesome. Reminds me of a James Clevell novel.

Is that a mans body with a catfish head they are attacking?
UBC Library Digitization Centre said:
Emilia Murray Yes! It's a catfish. Japanese mythology said that they caused earthquakes. There's a post on our blog with more information: digitize.library.ubc.ca/digitizers-blog/namazu-e-prints/

Ah, Japan :).
