Detail of the Kutani bowl, motif: Old couple (Jo and Uba), both with brooms (to collect the needles of the pine), in a landscape with sea, island and setting sun, as well as a Minogame (this is what old turtles with veiled tails look like algae) and two cranes, the classic Japanese symbols of happiness and long life. In tradition, the animals are said to live to be a thousand years old. The symbols still play a role in wedding ceremonies today (e.g. cranes and turtles as decoration).
