 The Fujino Kawauchi Kiln mass-produced Joseon karatsu ware with a combination of white straw ash glaze and black candy glaze. Tokutsu of various sizes, water jars, and jars were produced, but this Tokutsu is an unusual piece with a hexagonal beveled body, with a cloudy white glaze over the mouth and shoulders, and a black glaze over the body. Most Korean karatsu ware is made of beaten clay. Therefore, the bottom of the bowl is flat, and the thickness of the bowl is almost constant from the bottom to the mouth, making it light to handle.
