Subject:title of japanese namazu-e print
Posted By: francis Fri, Nov 03, 2023 IP: 2a01:e0a:871:8270:d4
Can you help me read the title print written in the top right cartouche?
I could only read the three bold kanjis as KA O SHU...
Thanks a lot

The title is: The Kashima Deity Gives Information about Earthquakes to the Citizens of Edo

Your print depicts the giant catfish that causes earthquakes. See the links below.
