 This is also a kutsu-shape tea bowl, but it is assumed to have been made by Uchida Saraya Kiln. The body is covered with iron pigments in a black brush pattern, and the prospective view is decorated with an eccentric design of noshi (a gift wrapped in dried paper) and scissors. The glaze applied inside and out is thin, and the glaze has a grayish-brown color. The clay around the base is rich in iron and has a fine texture.
