 This jar also belongs to the Bizen long jar series. It is made of mountain clay containing fine grains of silica stone. It is made of rolled-up corded clay with rounded shoulders and a slightly outward opening at the mouth with a firm ball rim.
It probably dates to the first half of the 15th century. The well-fired brownish-brown color and the yellowish-green natural glaze on the shoulder that flows down to the body create an interesting feature of this jar, which lacks variety.
