The "Mountain Azalea Design" is a popular painting theme, with light, free-flowing brushwork and a clean, unobtrusive color scheme on a milky white, three-sided, opaque base.

The works of the Juyondai, which carry the 400-year history of Arita, continue to receive increasing praise and will continue to attract high attention in the future.
