Height 7.6cm, Bowl diameter 11.8~12.8cm, Base diameter 6.7cm
 This is a semi-tubular tea bowl with the mouth distorted into an almost triangular shape, with a convex band around the center of the body, and the low rounded base is clearly carved into a double height, but unlike the double height of Shino, the carving is wide and deep. The body is decorated with a cross pattern on three sides, and the entire surface is covered with a thick feldspar glaze, except for the area around the base, so that the glazed surface is roughly pierced. The white clay surface is hard and tightly fired. It comes with a box inscribed by Toda Rogin, and was a favorite of Masuda Nunoo. It was probably made by the Iidong pottery.
