Height 8.1 cm, mouth diameter 12.4 cm, base diameter 6.4 cm
 This is not a painting of a bridge, but a mountain road pattern and calendar pattern that looks like triangles joined together. It was probably named “Okuyama” (meaning “mountain path” in Japanese) in reference to the mountain path. The bowl is also wheel-thrown in a neat semi-tubular shape, with a slightly wide base and a slightly rounded eye. The bright reddish glazed surface is a little rough with orifices, however, it is a tea bowl with a deep and tasteful glaze color.
