Paintings of hammerhead sharks depicted in the "Oki National Products Illustration Notes". From Japan, Edo Period, 1735 CE

[Edit: 10/18: This art might be AI art according to some folks who have only found it referenced starting about a month ago in various social media posts (including this one). If I have unconsciously spread AI art around, I apologize. If it turns out this is a verified historical thing, neat. If people keep sending me anonymous messages calling me unpleasant names for posting AI art occasionally, I will continue to block them rather than reply.] Edit 2: 10/18:

Flying Bats, woodblock print by Kono Bairei

Someone ordered a Radioapple print and requested the actors to write: “what do alastor and Lucifer think of each other”

And alastor said “big fan, sir!” 🤯

It made my radioapple ass brain think “what if alastor was a devil worshipper!?” And maybe that’s why he was so mad at the sight of Lucifer 😂😂😂

Takeuchi Seihō (竹内 栖鳳, Japan, 1864-1942)

Wild #Boar, c.1938-40

“This print was a part of two groups of prints, produced by Unsodo in Kyoto between 1938-40. These prints were never reprinted because the blocks were transported from Kyoto to Tokyo during the war. They were lost due to the carpet bombing of Tokyo at the end of WWll.”
