Height 8.6 cm, diameter of the mouth 8.6 x 9.1 cm, diameter of the base 4.7 cm
 This is a slightly thicker, stroked four-sided mukozuke with a stepped body and a low base, the inside of which is carved out in a rounded shape. The four sides of the body are decorated with patterns such as hinokaki, yataki, kagome, and yawara, which are similar to Shino mukozuke in both form and design, and are clearly influenced by them. This is an old-fashioned mukozuke of this type, and was probably fired somewhat earlier. It was once a set of five pieces, but has since been separated and used as a hibi (fire bowl). It is assumed to have been made by the Fuji-no-Kawauchi family.
