The inscription “Shiraame” is likely by Matsudaira Fumai, and its refreshing taste is evident. The segments of the body are clearly defined, the rim shows variations in the mountain path, and the high foot is sturdy and well-crafted, making it a visually appealing piece. The fine, vibrant lines on the surface are exquisite, adding another notable feature. The helmet-shaped foot is sharp and striking.
