This three-dimensional decoration technique was calledTakaukibori. Birds such as raptors and pigeons, mammals such as bears and cats, crustaceans such as crabs, plants such as cherry blossomsand grapes, and fictional creatures such as oniand anthropomorphic frogswere frequently used as motifs for sculptures.During the 1890s Kōzan developed a style of decoration that combined multiple underglaze colours on each item.
