Height 14.0cm
Diameter 7.3cm

Praised as an artist who would never be promoted, he displayed his extraordinary talents not only in ceramics but also in seal carving, lacquerware, calligraphy, and other fields. This work was created by Kitaoji Rosanjin, a great master of all arts who left many masterpieces and legends behind. In his later years, Rosanjin deepened his friendship with Kaneshige Toyo, a Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, and is said to have been so absorbed in his work that he built a Bizen ware kiln in Kamakura.
