 The neck is slightly constricted and the neck of the mouth rises outward while the shoulders lose their tension, giving the body an almost spherical shape. The body is almost spherical in shape, with a slightly constricted neck, the mouth and neck rising outward, and the shoulders becoming less taut. The vessel has a polyhedron-like form with a striated pattern on the face of the bowl, but the stripes are still running diagonally in one direction, which probably dates it to the Kamakura period. There are two seals with chrysanthemum patterns on the shoulders.
