Height 8.5 cm, mouth diameter 10.8 cm, high stand diameter 5.5 cm
 On the back of the inner box lid, Kakuyasai Haraso wrote “Nidaime rakuyaki chawan, naming kohori mochi left (kanasho)”. The inscription “Rakuyaki Tea Bowl, 2nd Generation” is rare. The shape of this bowl is similar to Figure 64, but the glaze of this bowl is different from that of ordinary Chojiro ware, being darker and more fused, with a glazed surface similar to that of So-iru ware. The mouth rim is thin, but the entire piece is rather thick and has tea tamenuri (tea tamari) in the prospective area. The outer box is inscribed by Itto.
