As landscape designs are often used, especially on mirrors imitating Han-style Chinese mirrors which have concentric circles with a ring of dots (Satô Naoko, 1996), it is possible that all of these were produced in one foundry. Another similar mirror with outer rings and a tortoise-shaped knob, Mirror with a Pair of Birds and Plum Tree (1360, Enbun5), is in the possession of Katori Shrine.
