 This is a similar piece to the famous “Ikuno,” which was owned by Enshu, and has a neat style that Enshu would have liked. The mouth is rather wide, with small ears on either side of the shoulder and two vertical spatula lines at the bottom of the body. The glaze is of a vivid landscape color, with black anadaori clearly visible on the red washi ground. The bottom of the bowl has a threaded bottom with a chamfered spatula around the bottom. The clay is fine and dense.
