Hoori and the Sea God’s Daughter

Evelyn Paul

Hoori meets the sea god's daughter in a realm beneath the water. In Davis's account, his search for a lost fish-hook leads to the sea palace and marriage to Toyo-tama. Paul places the human figures among flowing, fantastical sea forms, giving the underwater kingdom the character of a living landscape.
