Thank you Moriyama san. Are you saying it derives from a Chinese theme or proverb and is not done by Japanese artisans?

Maybe a Chinese proverb

The latter.  It's Chinese, written in simplified characters.

 

Loosely translated:

 

做到老学不了 = You're never to old to learn new things

 

黄金有价书无价 = Gold has a price, knowledge is priceless

 

人不学不知义 = A person who doesn't study doesn't know what's right
