Height: 8.5 cm, Mouth Diameter: 12.0 cm, Foot Diameter: 4.9 cm
This is also a fully glazed piece, featuring the same glaze application as the black flat tea bowl inscribed “Enji.” It is somewhat large in size, with a clam-shell rim, a rounded body, a wide and deep interior, and a rounded foot. The entire piece is covered in black glaze, with thick drips of glaze hanging down on both the interior and exterior; white crackle patterns appear in some areas where the glaze has broken. Five marks remain on the foot, and the character “Raku” is stamped inside the foot, though it is unclear due to the glaze covering it. On the underside of the inner box lid, “Nonkō-saku Kurochawan Zangetsu Tsukuru (signature)” is inscribed by Tsukuru. This tea bowl has been passed down in the Fujita family.
