This is similar to a semi-tubular tea bowl, but it is made as a flat tea bowl.
There are very few Chojiro ware flat tea bowls, and we have only seen two other red and two black ones.
Of these, the flat tea bowl in the Mitsui family collection, which could not be included in this volume, seems to be the most outstanding. This tea bowl is similar in style to the “Shunkan” and others, with a slightly tightened body and spatula-tori from the waist to the edge of the base, and the inside of the base has a shallow Tomoe Kabukin. The inside of the base is decorated with a shallow Tomoe Kabukin. The yuzu (citron) color is iron, the outside is black, and the inside of the base and the area around the base have an interesting reddish-bronze color. On the back of the lid of the inner box, Kakusai wrote “Chojiro, black tea bowl, name of issue: Oki Island, left (hanaseki)”.
