　This is a typical Oribe Kutsurogata Tea Bowl with the mouth undulating outwardly in the shape of a mountain path, and the body is strongly stretched at the waist with the potter’s wheel. The slightly large base is rounded out, the tatami mat is wide, and there are three lines of stitching, large and small, on the inside of the base. The body is covered with a thick feldspar glaze on one side and black glaze on the other side. The black glaze is scraped off the surface of the prospect and sides in a pattern resembling an ash and crane, and the white glaze is dabbed on the pattern. The body is decorated with a single vertical line in the center and two lines on the left and right sides, and the hem of the body is deeply engraved with a “2” mark on the side of the base. It is a particularly interesting and tasteful tea bowl among the black Oribe tea bowls.
