Excerpt to the cutani shell, motif: old couple (Jo and Uba), both with brooms (to collect the needles of the pine), in a landscape with the sea, island and underlaying sun, as well as a minogame (old turtles with a veil's tail made of algae) and two cranes, overall the classic symbols of Japan for Gück and long life. In the tradition, the animals are attributed to becoming a thousand years old. To date, the symbols play a role in wedding ceremonies (e.g. cranes and turtles as decoration).
