 This is one of the most outstanding Iga ware vases probably dating from the Momoyama period.
It has a simple yet powerful appearance, with a ball-rimmed mouth, stout shoulders, and a slightly constricted base, and the bottom is carved in a low, rounded style. The bottom was carved in a low, rounded style. A thin layer of grass-green bead-glaze fell from the mouth to the hem of the body on one side, and on the other side, a streak of bead-glaze flowed over a burnished, reddish-brown surface. No other jar has such a vivid landscape. The body is thickly molded with two cracks in the kiln and the bottom has a geta bottom. This jar is famous among the sukiya.
