Although the pre-1796 Jasaho (Chinese reddish-colored teapot)

could not be taken out to foreign countries, this piece dates back to before

 1796; a distinctive feature of this work shows how the fish was portrayed in

 detailed with the feeling of movement through the inside as well as the

 bottom of the piece; the originality and symmetry are highly praised by

critics.

This tea kettle in the unusual shape of wrapped in cloth with a knot for the lid.

It is gold glittering with pink and jemlike hues painted floral patterns that are

strewn across the kettle

settling gently around the fish in the center,

particularly the pinkish wrap encircles the top, melting down soothingly.

The tantalizing golden handle and spout seem to give impression of creating a

perfect masterpiece.
