This is a free illustration of a sea cucumber, known in Japanese as “Namako” (ナマコ). Namako is a soft-bodied echinoderm that lives on the ocean floor, found in warm seas around the world. Though its appearance is modest, it plays an important role as a natural cleaner, feeding on organic matter in the sand and helping purify the seabed.
In Japan, Namako is also enjoyed as a seasonal delicacy, especially in winter. Its chewy texture is appreciated in dishes like vinegar-marinated preparations (namako-su), making it a unique blend of ecology and cuisine.
Recommended for marine-themed blog posts, educational materials, food content, or any creative project that highlights sea life or traditional Japanese ingredients.
