This tea bowl features a distinctive form, with a rounded lower section, a body that rises in a straight line, and a flat, straight rim. The foot is small and low, with a shallow, narrow indentation carved into its interior; the rim is wide. The glaze is applied thickly over the entire bowl, creating a rough, textured surface, though it has melted well, resulting in some glaze runs on part of the rim. The interior is spacious, with a small pool of tea, and three fine kiln marks remain on the foot rim. Matagen-sai Ittō has inscribed “Sōnyū Black Tea Bowl: Asahi (Seal)” on the box.
