Height 8.6 cm, mouth diameter 12.8 cm, base diameter 5.8 cm
 This is a tea bowl of the same form as the previous one, with a fine design of turtle shell joints on the body and a thinly painted crescent moon on the prospective side. The glaze, which is applied leaving the area around the base, is reddish and soft, but the glaze tone is slightly different compared to the Shino of the peak period of Ohgaya. The base is rounded, and there is a thin well-shaped kiln mark engraved inside the base.
