Height 33.4 cm, mouth diameter 5.4 cm, body diameter 17.4 cm, bottom diameter 9.1 cm
 This Tokutoshi has almost the same shape as the large Tokutoshi with camellia design in overglaze enamels, but the body is slightly tauter.
The body has a rough loquat-like tree design with a bird in it, but this is a rare example of this style.
The dark colors of the underglaze blue and the shaded depiction are reminiscent of early Imari underglaze blue.
Early Imari blue-and-white porcelain jars and sake cups are characterized by the rough penetration of the glaze around the edge, which may be a phenomenon that occurs when Arita porcelain is fired on a freshly fired porcelain base.
