This is also a copy of a Koji incense container. The whole piece is shaped like a six-petaled pagoda, and the base of the round knob is decorated with a chrysanthemum design in relief. The knob and chrysanthemum are covered in a yellow glaze over a green glaze. Both the body and lid have a matching mouth, and the clay is finely textured and soft, with white clay showing through. The mark “Kawahin Shiryū” is stamped on the foot ring, and on the lid of the box, the words “Kōchi-ga-shō Fuyu-ka-ga-gō” are written, and on the underside of the lid, the words “In: Hozō” are written.
