Source Description
The box for this sweets bowl has an attestation by Yohei IV that it is a work by Yohei III and in the <em>hisokuyō </em>(C. <em>mise yao</em>), or “mysterious color ware,” style. In fact, as actual examples of <em>mise </em>ware were unknown in Yohei III’s time, he would have associated the color with the green-glazed ceramics of kilns at Longquan, also in Zhejiang Province, produced during the Yuan dynasty.
