Namazu, also known as Ōnamazu, is a giant catfish in Japanese folklore believed to be the cause of earthquakes. It’s said to live beneath the islands of Japan and cause tremors when it thrashes its tail or body. The god Takemikazuchi is said to restrain it with a sacred stone, but when the god is distracted, Namazu can cause earthquakes Done @sydneytattooconvention @oldchurchtattoo
