 You can see two beautiful birds 
in the second floors. They shine like 
feathers of pheasant or peacock.
Color material used in the birds are 
said "king of blue", Prussian blue, or 
dye of tropical water lily having micro-
scopic structured color, or Lapis lazuri.
Mark of 「左伊」 is a signature of the 
artist, plasterer Ikichi, producing these 
KoteE works. The founder allowed him to draw 
Ikichi's signature in space under the eaves,
instead of not working other than the founder.
It was a monopolization of the outstanfding 
artist. What a luxury he was.
