 Water droplets by Ninsei are rare. It is a water droplet of a Chinese child using a gourd as a pillow, with the gourd’s mouth as a spout. The head, gourd, and shoes are painted with rust, and the face and clothes are glazed with white glaze mixed with mottled u (rabbit), overlaid with gold, red, blue, and light purple. The bottom is stamped with a small seal of Ninsei.
