「鯰(なまず)絵」(作者不詳) 安政2年(1855)
地震災害多発の江戸時代、地震の原因と考えられていた鯰を叱りつけるような浮世絵が多い中、こちらは皮肉一味。職人さんたちが鯰をおだてているようですよ。はてさて。

‘Catfish with Kaname-ishi’ (artist unknown), 1855.
In the Edo period, when earthquake disasters were frequent, many ukiyo-e depict catfish, which were thought to be the cause of earthquakes, as if they were being punished, but this one is ironic. Carpenters, plasterers and other craftsmen seem to be flattering the catfish. Well, well, well.

27(Tue) Temporary closing
