Hand painted with dragons, being a legendary mythological symbol, and set amongst scenic foliage. The edgings having geometric symbols. The seats have motifs of bats and carp.

There are some signs of use, with some rubbing to the arms and seats, and differences to the lacquer in places. There are numerous knocks and some losses, which are mainly photographed. Some earlier touch up paint to the knocks is present. The benches are sturdy with no loose joints. Very usable.
