15th century
Height 30.0 cm, mouth diameter 17.2 cm, body diameter 28.2 cm, bottom diameter 16.2 cm
 The characteristic feature of the mouth rim of jars from this region is the widening of the mouth rim band and the outward opening of the jar along the curve of the neck. The elongation of the neck of the mouth, the tension of the shoulders, and the flattening of the body are indicative of the descent of the period. The clay is reduced and takes on a color tone. It was excavated from a cemetery in Iga City as a warehouse bone ware. There is a geta mark on the underside of the bottom.
