 This work depicts a pine tree on a cliff, a Chinese figure perched on a rock, and a child offering a small bowl in a circular window. The juko-shaped window at the rim is decorated with Chinese lions, plum blossoms, twin birds, boxwood, landscapes, and irises, which is rare among kukakute. The rounded small pattern on the green ground is also unusual.
 The reverse side is covered with a unique arabesque as usual.
