This well-preserved Ōtsu-e from the Edo Period features a depiction painted on board. The design is originally inspired by the Zen painting "Hyōtan Namazu Zu," reinterpreted in this Ōtsu-e to show a monkey restraining a catfish with a gourd. This composition satirizes the absurdity of attempting the impossible, capturing the essence of the era's spirit.
