描述
图案取材于大津绘，鲶为传说中大鱼，稍微活动则形成地震，以故又名地震鱼。1586年1月，日本中部地区广泛发生大地震，其时丰臣秀吉正驻扎坂本城（现滋贺县大津市）琵琶湖畔。传说大鲶潜身琵琶湖，秀吉耸言地震因鲶引发，一时传为笑谈。好事者锦绘猴鲶图案，借此讽刺外号猴子的秀吉。
此外，禅宗亦有“瓢箪鯰”故事：鲶兴风作浪，猴试图以瓢打捞鲶抑制地震，意为不自量力，此即后世成语不得要领之来历。震灾一语双关，充满禅宗智慧。

beautifully carved double-figure netsuke depicts a mujina (a type of badger) and a namazu (catfish, associated with earthquakes because it is so active before they occur) locked in a furious struggle. The convolutions of the two animals have made possible a netsuke design of true functional form.
