Design
Shiba On kou smash a jar

This design is based on an anecdote from the childhood of the Chinese Northern Song 
dynasty politician and scholar Sima Wengong.

There is a very precious water jar.
Children are playing around it.

However, one of them accidentally fell into the water tortoise.
One of the children immediately broke the jar with a large stone and saved the fallen child.
No matter how precious something is, what is more precious than it is human life. 
This picture teaches the preciousness of life.
