옛날부터 전해내려오는 일본 전설에 일본열도는 메기 위에 놓여 있어 가물귀신(魃)들이 기분 나쁘면 메기(鮎)가 퍼덕거려 지진이 일어난다고.
말하길
Japanese myth said their island chain rested on namazu, a giant catfish that flopped about from time to time when the gods were displeased.
The historical record shows that Tokyo open forum is struck by a major temblor about every 70 years.
Today they left fish behind them. The catfish has eleven barbels or "whiskers" around it's mouth.
