Wakashima Gonemon

11/1867

Wakashima Gonemon is searching in a whirlpool at the bottom of the Sumida river for an ancient dragon-headed bell (the bell is out of view at the left bottom corner, at the intersection of the two beams of light). The Water Dragon God was unwilling to part with it, and the rope that Gonemon took down to use to haul it up broke, and the bell is still there on the bottom.
