Kozuka with the Taoist Immortal Gama and His Toad
The man shown resting on his walking stick is the Taoist immortal Gama. At the bottom is a three-legged frog. Gama's spirit was able to leave his body to wander and once returned to find the body unfit to reinhabit. He put his spirit into the nearest creature, which was a frog.
