 This is a thick, Shino influenced Natsuyoshikata mukozuke (bowl with a four-sided base). The body is thickly decorated with patterns of Warabi, flowers, birds, and cypress fences on the sides and one, two, or three petals on the inner rim, and covered with a thick feldspar glaze mixed with earth and ash. It has a zanguri-style taste, in contrast to the Uchida Saraya ware, and is estimated to have been made by the Kawanouchi family of wisteria.
