Document source description

This kozuka shows the Taoist immortal Gama, with a three-legged frog sitting on his head. Gama's spirit was able to leave his body to wander and once returned to find the body unfit. He put his spirit into the nearest creature, which was a frog. On the reverse is a waterfall and the artist's signature.
