Western cider jug, decorated with themes inspired by Japanese and Chinese art. The jug features painted geishas dressed in flowing traditional robes, surrounded by blossoms and intricate floral patterns, evoking a strong sense of Japanese culture. The design is the blend of Chinese and Japanese elements. For instance, the building in the scene has a very Chinese-style roof with curled eaves, but at the same time, there are ascending geese in front of the moon, which is a motif more commonly seen in Japanese prints.
