Mokko gata in shibuichi chased in hira bori and inlaid in iroe taka zogan of gilded copper, gold and silver of a tigress crossing a river with one of her cubs on her back, a second waiting near a waterfall on a nanako background, on the other side, a third tigron perched on a rock. Golden Mimi. Unsigned. H. 6.8 cm
This Japanese legend (Tora no ko-watashi) recounts how a tigress with two peaceful cubs and a mean, feisty third crossed the river seven times so that her two cubs would never be left alone and would not be attacked by the mean one.
