One can imagine a cool summer breeze when looking at this set of dishes, each shaped with a crenulated mouth and glazed with blue. Around the rim and into the basin, the bowls have low-relief designs of flowers with underglaze yellow petals; their leaves and stems show white through the glaze. On each dish, the design continues over the rim onto one side. Seifū Yohei IV’s dishes with flowers feature underglaze yellow.
