 Like the “Fukayama Road,” this bowl may have been named “Autumn Night” in reference to the taste of the bowl. It is a deep and generous tea bowl, with a taut waist and a slight bow at the edge around the mouth. The base of the bowl is small and clearly carved, especially the edge of the base is deeply carved, the inside of the base is rounded, and the center of the bowl is covered with the kabukin, and there are slight traces of thread cutting on the tatami surface of one thin side. The soft clay skin is slightly reddish, and the inside and outside are lightly covered with a loquat-colored glaze peculiar to Oku-Koryo, and a streak of white glaze drips down to form a scene. It is one of the representative works of Ko-Taratsu tea bowls.
