Boat image incorporating the character kotobuki (" long life") as the boat itself. The boat is piloted by Fukurokuju, the God of Longevity (his face is a self-portrait of Hakuin). The boat contains the four symbols of good fortune: 1). Lucky raincoat; 2). straw hat (which renders wearer invisible from thieves and tax collectors); 3). magic mallet (similar to Aladdin's lamp); 4). treasure bag. Signature, seals at top left.
