Height 8.3cm, mouth diameter 9.7cm, base diameter 6.3cm
 This tea bowl is quite different from the previous one in overall workmanship. The overall thickness of the bowl is thicker, and the mouth rim is finely made with highs and lows, and there are strong undulations from the waist to the edge of the base. The stand is large in proportion to the shape of the bowl, especially the tatami mat is wide, and the inside of the stand is flat. The black yuzu on the body of the bowl is slightly dark, but it melts softly and smoothly, and has a slight luster. There are traces of sticking in two places on the tatami-matted part of the base. It is housed in a lacquered kyokumono, and Sotan wrote “Chojirou-yaki Shuncho (Hanase)” on the front of the lid.
