 Almost the same shape as the iris bowl, but with a slightly shallower outlook. The extraordinary conception of a single daikon radish plant filling the entire surface is unique to the Momoyama period, and the line carving is so spacious and elegant that it can hardly be called daikon. The use of spatula for the edges of the double-petaled flowers is well defined. The shape is tightened. Line carving of floral arabesques and dongzhi arabesques on the left and right sides of the rim, along with daikon leaves, is thinly applied. The yellow-seto glaze over the entire body is fired to a slightly less moist but still deeply apologetic effect. The rounded bottom of the bowl has a glazed surface that shows austere burnished surface. It was once the treasured possession of Masuda Nuno-o.
