Height 9.1cm, mouth diameter 8.7cm, base diameter 5.8cm
Gyokusui Art Museum
 This is a slightly thicker, broad-brimmed cylindrical tea bowl, which differs considerably from the tea bowl shown in the previous picture. The body is slightly tightened, but there is almost no holding in the mouth, and there is a deep tea tamenuri in the prospective area. The inside of the stand is cut in a spiral shape, and the width of the helmet stands in the center. On the front of the lid of the inner box, Saso wrote “Koseimizu Kurochawan Munemuro (Hanaseki)” in lacquer ink, and on the back of the outer box lid, Itto wrote “Saso Mate (Hanaseki) on the first work Koseimizu Saso” in lacquer ink.
