This set comprises five Ko-Imari sencha cups, fired in the late Edo period and decorated in underglaze blue with a rice‑fish motif on a white porcelain body. The small bowls have slightly everted rims and are formed thin toward the lip.

A medaka motif—indicated only by a dot for the head and two flowing lines for the tail—is painted on the body in indigo with subtle variations in tone. The brushwork is light and assured. Medaka, a small fish cherished in Edo-period urban culture, was frequently used on vessels for its sense of refreshment and approachable charm. This piece was likely made to lend a cooling note to the sencha gathering.

The glassy white porcelain glaze has a slight grayish tint and shows fine crazing. Age-related staining, iron specks, and glaze irregularities are also evident. The footring is small and trimmed from the body, with firing traces remaining on the base. There are no chips; the overall condition is good. Complete set of five.
