Shino tea bowl with bridge design and geometric pattern known as higaki, known as “Ushiwaka”

Height 8.4 cm, mouth diameter 10.8 cm, base diameter 5.9 cm
 One side is painted with a bridge and the other side with a hinokigaki pattern. It is a rather small tea bowl for this type of Shino, and unlike the early Sumiyoshi-te tea bowls, it is made into an elegant small tea bowl as a whole. The reddish color appears on the body, and around the base of the bowl, there is a coarse spatula with the grain of the carving. Moreover, the clay skin is quite hard and tight.
