Height 5.3 cm, mouth diameter 20.8 x 23.3 cm, base diameter 14.1 x 15.9 cm
　This is a thick, long square dish, the most valuable of the Ko-Kutani style. It is a rather deep square dish with a guarded rim at the mouth, and the view of the causeway between rice paddies in the foreground is unexpected, as if one were looking down on a rice field. The curved path between rice fields was not conceived by the artist, but was painted on the back of the dish in response to a large defect that occurred in the kiln. The fact that the overglaze painting hid the defects in spite of such large flaws is thought to be because the white base was valuable. The work is free and tasteful.
