Beskrivelse

Challenging common portrayals of Japan as a centuries-old whaling nation, Fynn Holm shows that many coastal communities in early modern Northeast Japan believed whales to be the incarnation of the god of the sea that brought fish to the shore, leading to violent anti-whaling protests that shocked the country.
