In other words, Otafuku.
When viewed from above, the bowl has a shape resembling the face of Otafuku with puffy cheeks.
The original poem is written with "Otokose" on the inside of the lid of the inner box, but the former owner, Hirase Rouka, wrote about its author on the cover, "This box inscription inspires many people: spring (signature)."
However, judging from the style of writing, it is most likely written by Sen Sotan.
Although its ancient history is a mystery, it is believed to have been in the possession of Sotan, and was later passed down to the Hirase family of Osaka. In 1903, it became the property of Morikawa Joshun, who became renowned as a tea master for storing Koetsu's famous tea bowls "Shigure" and this "Otogozen."
