Original - Tamatori, being pursued by Ryujin after stealing his tide jewel

Reason: The image is of high resolution and encyclopedic value, showing how the Japanese of the 1800s viewed both the God of the Sea Ryūjin and the legend of the Tide jewels. Work is by a notable artist. Note that the ama divers traditionally wore loin cloths when diving (no shirts), so the nudity would be accurate of a diver during the period.

Weak Support It seems softer at full size than I'd expect for this sort of thing. JJ Harrison (talk) 22:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
