Sea creatures entertain Urashima Taro and Oto Hime in the Dragon Palace
Artist: Utagawa Kuniyoshi
framed triptych: male and female figure seated on a cushion at C, watching the antics of creatures with human bodies with sea-creature heads: at L, fish with human bodies wrestle, while another figure holds up an object under the spray of a black whale at bottom; near C, a tortoise balances a sake barrel on its leg, while a crab cuts paper decorations; at R, a squid, fish, and other creatures play instruments, and look on
