Seizan is just the (art)name of the craftsman who carved the wood or the bamboo.
A dragon with a crystal pearl/orb in his claw represents in Buddhist mythology, power/mastery over heaven and earth.
Can you post also an image of the fish's head in order to be sure that it is indeed a namazu/catfish?
