Height 10.4 cm, mouth diameter 38.7 cm, base diameter 10.9 cm
 The shape is almost the same as the previous example, but the prospective view shows a design of flowers and plants in running water and a single motif of wagtails. The rim is decorated with interlinked ruyigashira patterns, which were later used frequently in Imari and Kakiemon’s color painting works. Although it may be a little late for early Imari Sometsuke, such an elegantly painted large bowl is rarely seen.
