- There is a figure of a jumping lobster drawn in the center of bottom of the bowl with seaweeds arranged around it. The free-spirited composition of this work is bold and sufficiently expresses the characteristics of Old-Kutani ware. The lobster is colored yellow, its two antennae are red and the seaweeds are violet and green, and it can only be said that the coloring enhances the design of this bowl. Around the back, there are Chinese characters "長 " in four locations, and the characters "太朋 " can be found inside the foot.
