- Catching Fish (捕魚), 1746 Most aborigines gained the lion's share of protein from the deer hunt, but for some villages, fishing was also important. This painting shows three different methods aborigines used to catch fish. In the foreground, one aborigine aims a bow, while his companion uses a spear. The two in the background use wicker baskets as nets.
