Story Three Hundred and Five · Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

The Night Turned Bright

A line drawing in the manner of a late-Qing lithographed edition: on the deck of a sailing junk at night on the open sea, a capped merchant in a long wide-sleeved gown stands gripping a rope and gazing up in alarm, while two headscarfed sailors lie prone on the planks beside him looking up at a vast scaly creature rising half out of the waves at the right, its two ringed eyes sending rays across the sky, with the mast, batten sail, matting cabin, cargo bales and a coil of rope around them.
