The Namazu Yokai, a mythical giant catfish in Japanese folklore, is believed to cause earthquakes with its powerful thrashes beneath the earth. This enigmatic creature is closely associated with the god Kashima, who restrains Namazu to prevent frequent quakes. However, when Kashima's guard slips, Namazu stirs, resulting in tremors that remind the world of nature’s unpredictable power. The image of Namazu has been depicted in various traditional Japanese art forms, particularly in woodblock prints, capturing the essence of this formidable being and its role in the natural world.
