Descrizione del rovescio	Two red-crowned cranes (Grus japonensis) are depicted in opposing orientations on either side of the central square hole, serving as classical symbols of longevity in East Asian iconography. The crane to the left faces right, while the crane to the right faces left, creating a symmetrical composition around the void. Chinese characters relating to longevity are rendered across the background field, providing a decorative and thematic context. The overall design draws heavily on traditional Chinese artistic conventions, rendered in high relief against a textured background.
