Stained Glass in Haijima Station

There is a stained glass in front of JR ticket gates of Haijima station. It shows a whale in big waves under sun.

 

I did not understand why they had chosen a whale, since Haijima is 40km away from the sea. The information on web says that a whale became their symbol after a complete fossil whale was found near here in 1961.

 

The sign is blocking the art because I did not check the picture carefully when I took this picture.
