Height 19.7 cm, mouth diameter 10.6 cm, bottom diameter 8.2 cm
 This is a suisen with a large, obliquely truncated hem and large tube ears in the style unique to Insei, with a mouth made as if to drop a lid, a ridge on the shoulder, a gently bulging body, and a flat bottom, the left side of which bears the large seal of Insei. The glazed surface is a little less than smooth, but the body is roughly decorated with a paulownia and tomoe design.
