This work fully enjoys the unique Bizen kiln transformation, and its varied scenery is difficult to describe in words. The body is wheel-thrown into a cylindrical shape and pressed flat from three sides to form a triangular shape, and the mouth and bottom are probably almost circular. The mouth is gently undulating. The mouth is gently undulating. The three sides of the body are carved with sharp, one-striped spatula carvings in the shape of a bow, and the upper and lower surfaces are also carved with thin, thick spatula carvings horizontally. In addition to its large size and artificial shape, the entire body is solidly and firmly fired to produce a rare, varied, and vivid scene, making it an excellent work that leaves a strong impression on the viewer. The flat bottom of the vase has a rounded mark, and each of the three corner shoulders has a hole drilled through it, one of which still has a kan (metal ring), and the bottom of the kan has been ground flat so that it will not sway when hung. Since it is probably a very heavy flower vase, it is not used as a hanging vase today, but it is said that it was once hung carelessly on a floor wall or a pillar. Hanayoi of the Momoyama period, such as those of Bizen and Iga, have holes drilled in them for the kanzuke, even if they are quite large.
