 This is a straight type of one of the two types of early Kosedo asako, and was also used as a warehouse bone ware. It is one of the oldest types of asako ware, with its long, straight form with a strong shoulder and bottom, which is very close to the Chinese ceramics that were the ancestors of asako ware. It is one of the oldest types. It is made of rolled clay, and the surface of the vessel has been scraped and adjusted. The ash glaze is monotone and thin, and the unevenness of the glaze caused by the brush application is remarkable.
