Chashyaku (tea scoop)
The shape is much the same as the “Ariake” described in the previous section. The waist seems to be a little lower than that of the Ariake. Two spots of cloud-like mottled patterns under the joints are thought of as a view of clouds around the time of the May rain.
Tube
This is a chamfering tube in the Ishizhu style, with sword marks in the shinogi-style throughout the entire tube. It is well preserved as if it had just been completed. The calligraphy is a little modified.
