 Like “Fuyo,” this piece is molded in a thicker shape, with a stroked square shape from the mouth to the base of the body, and has a ring around the base of the sloping neck. The bottom of the thickly rounded vessel is cracked, and the back of the vessel is unevenly burnt from the mouth to the shoulder, and the body is also roundly burnt in red. The front of the body is covered with a shallow young grass-colored ash glaze from the square to the body, and the lower half of the body is thickly glazed with a green beadlo glaze under the dark purple-black charring that has partially accumulated at the base. This vase also has a hole at the base of the neck that has been filled in.
 On the back of the lid of the inner box, Kakusai Haraso, the sixth generation of the Omotesenke family, wrote “Iga Hanayuri Mei Jurojin (Hanaseki)” (inscription).
