namazu-e
I didn't think your day would be complete without seeing those earthquake catfish pictures.
These metaphoric catfish did not necessarily correspond to an actual species of fish, and I refer to them here by their Japanese name, namazu. The general name of catfish prints, which included visual elements and text, is namazu-e, with "e" meaning picture.
