The Hidden Feature (Lithophane):

Many of these specific sets—often referred to as "Kutani" or "Hayasi" export ware—contain a hidden geisha girl lithophane at the bottom of the cups. If you hold one of the empty cups up to a bright light source and look inside, you may see a translucent, detailed portrait of a geisha's face pressed into the porcelain.
