Description
"The sailor Kawanaya Tokuzo decides to go to sea on the last day of the year, although most sailors believe it unpropitious to leave port on this day. A violent storm breaks out during Tokuzo's voyage:
the waves reach terrific heights and suddenly the sea monster Umibozu appears out of nowhere. In a
loud, hollow voice he demands of Kawanaya Tokuzo: "Name the most horrible thing that you know!" Unperturbed, the hero answers: "My profession, that's the most horrible thing I know." The monster, apparently satisfied with this answer, disappears and the storm is abated. This image is related to the forty-third post-station along the Tokaido, Kuwana." (1797 - 1861)
