The same five bowls were once in the Fujita family’s collection, but they have since been separated and are now in the collection of different sukiya. This bowl is the most outstanding of the five, and the yellow-seto glaze, especially the coloring of the chalcanthite, is the best of all. The coloring of the yellow-seto glaze, especially the blue vitreous color, is particularly beautiful. The inside of the body is decorated with five-petaled cherry blossoms and nine-petaled chrysanthemums, with an iris design carved in lines between them. The green is decorated with floral arabesques on two sides, also glazed with iron and vitreous. The green is decorated with floral arabesques on two sides, also glazed with iron and vitriol.
