This rare triptych depicts a panoramic view of whaling around the Goto and Hirado islands off Kyushu. On these islands villagers earned their living primarily from fishing and agriculture, with whaling forming an important component of the local economy and cultural traditions. Kuniyoshi's triptych provides detailed information regarding the species hunted, local topography and technology used in the hunt and subsequent processing, in which most of the village population was involved.

Left sheet: 35.7 x 23.9 cm. (14 x 9 ⅜ in.)
