A jar with a slightly open mouth and upright neck is called a “straight-mouth jar. This is one of the larger types. The upper half of the neck has two stripes with a wavy comb-like pattern between them and on the lower half of the neck. The body is slightly flattened and spherical in shape, with three chinkansen lines and twilled cedar patterns on the shoulders and a comb-shaped wavy pattern below the chinkansen lines.
