Arader Galleries Philadelphia

A fine decorative collection beautifully illustrating six whales: Semi-kujira or Right whale; Ko-kujira or Gray whale; Makkou-kujira or Sperm whale; Nagasa-kujira or Blue whale; Suji-iruka or White-sided dolphin; and Shachi or Killer whale. The artist has carefully annotated each whale with descriptions of the main anatomical features: pointing out the blow whole, the dorsal fin, flukes and distinguishing features, such as an arched head in the Right whale, ventral grooves in... the underside of the Humpback whale, the teeth in the Sperm whale’s jaw, and occasionally the length, particularly of the mighty Blue whale which is described as being 75 feet long. Whaling has been an important part of Japanese society for over 1,000 years, dating back to the seventh century during the Yamato-Asuka period in ancient Japan. The oldest Japanese book in existence, called the Kojiki, chronicled that the Emperor Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan, ate whale meat, and for a great period in their history, the Japanese have obtained their food, oil, and other materials from whales. A famous proverb in Japan says, There’s nothing to throw away from a whale except its voice The early Japanese viewed whales as deities of the sea as well as being useful for corralling fish. Many whaling villages built Whale Shrines, or Kujira Jinja, to worship the whales they hunted as gods. Each of these items is on display and available for purchase at our Philadelphia location or from our website https://aradergalleries.com/. These Japanese Watercolors are all sold separately.
