19世紀になっても真面目な博物学の挿し絵でマンガのようなパンパンクジラがヨーロッパでは描かれていた反面、日本では庶民向けの浮世絵なのに正確に描かれている。捕鯨の是非はともかくクジラと人との付き合いの差がこれだけあるということだね。

Chi si aspetta
che nel mondo
i diavoli vadano
in giro con le corna
e i buffoni coi sonagli
sarà sempre loro preda
e il loro zimbello.

FS1 Wataru is a jester, this is how Wataru chooses to represent himself and he's not any jester! He's Arleccino which is based on the trope from commedia dell'arte. Arleccino is someone who can be interpreted as either a buffon or a demon in some representations of the work.

"Povera patria! Schiacciata dagli abusi del potere
di gente infame, che non sa cos'è il pudore,
si credono potenti e gli va bene quello che fanno
e tutto gli appartiene.
Tra i governanti, quanti perfetti e inutili buffoni!"
(F. Battiato)

🎨 Alberto Sughi, "Teatro d'Italia", 1984
