| This set of Menuki depicts a traditional Japanese dance with comical elements. The story of a man trying to catch a catfish with a calabash, which is impossible, has been performed to overcome any adversity. The item itself shows a smiling catfish and a man with an all too small calabash to fit the animal in. |
