 This is a square Tokutari often seen in Imari ware, but it is an extremely rare example of this style. The entire surface is decorated with a floating pattern, and the white glaze is applied to the underglaze blue, but of course, it is a unique early style of unglazed base. The four sides are decorated with a dragon, tiger, and bamboo design in poor Yi Dynasty-style relief, and the dragon is accompanied by a cloud. The clouds and the frame are in underglaze blue, and the relief design is covered with white glaze. The base is unglazed and has a cookie skin. Around the mouth, bamboo, dragons, and clouds are represented in a pattern. It is thought to have been made before the Kanbun period.
