Title	Thin fresh water jar
Description	This shape of fresh water container (hosomizusashi) was devised to be used during the last two weeks of October. With the winter season beginnning in November, the narrow mouth and thin shape reduce the guests' impression of cold water, while the container itself comes to be placed in a position further away from the guests, on the far side of the fire heating the water in the kettle.
