Recovering the Stolen Jewel from the Palace of the Dragon King - Fantastic image of a diving girl recovering the stolen jewel from the underwater palace of the Dragon King. The awabe diver holds the jewel in one hand close to her body as she raises a knife above her head to defend herself against the dragon and the myriad of sea creatures chasing her. The dragon snarls fiercely, bursting over the top of the waves, as octopuses and fishes follow alongside in the sweeping curve of water. A dynamic design with a wonderful sense of movement, beautifully detailed and colored. A terrific illustration from this legendary tale, rarely seen in reprint.
