It is one of the inscripts meaning Yoshiyoshi, in particular not a kiln place or an author, but it was freely used in each Hima kiln. Initial ones are generally small in size. In the 1650's the inscriptions increased greatly, and one-frame framing became visible. From the 1670s to the 1980s it became a cursive writing body, and the character of the rice field swirls, the eddy flattery emerges.

Kakufuku inscription has been excavated much from Kakiemon kiln. For this reason, although there is a tendency to be regarded as the inscription of Sakaida Kakiemon, in fact this inscription is used in various Kilns of Hizen. There are also ways of painting vortexes from polite to crude, there are differences in each kiln in terms of the representation and shaping of the work itself. In the eighteenth century, the vortex blossom gradually changed into a rough drawing style, almost disappearing in the latter half of the 18th century. When around the year 1800, "x" appears in the "Ta" part of "Fuku". In 1885 (1885), Kakufuku inscription was registered by Sakaida Kakiemon in eleventh generation, and then those with Kakufuku inscription would mean works of Kakiemon kiln. However, Kakiemon, a 12-year-old Kakiemon, was established in 1928 after being financed by Kobata Hideyoshi of the Empire ceramic industry and founded in 1919, so afterward Kakufuku inscription can be used in Kakiemon I lost the stamp of "Kakiemon work". From this, until the same year 44, the work of Kakufuku inscription by the joint-stock company and the work of "Kakiemon work" by Kakiemon kiln existed in parallel. In the same year Kakufuku inscription was returned from the joint stock company to the Kakiemon kiln, but it is no longer used.
