A Sõsaku-hanga print of a giant squid attacking a boat and fishermen
A Japanese woodblock print showing a giant dark purple octopus rising out of towering dark green waves. In the center, a wooden fishing boat bobs on the rough water, filled with six frantic Japanese fishermen. Some fishermen are standing on the boat while others are in the water holding onto the boat, all displaying expressions of fear and panic with open mouths and wide eyes. One man in the foreground stands waist-deep in the water, holding a fishing net. In the background, a faint coastline with buildings and trees is visible under a grey sky. Japanese characters are written vertically in the margins on the right side of the image.
