 This is a tea bowl with various patterns freely painted on the body, such as waterwheels, hedge patterns, flowers and grasses like Gamakoe, well-shaped patterns, cypress fence patterns, etc., which is rare among Shino tea bowls. The mouth rim has a gentle mountain path shape with a shallow tea pool in the prospective area, and the base is small in size.
 The glaze is rather thick, with a reddish tinge on the edge of the mouth and the hem of the body, and finger marks on the rim.
