Lit. surplice shape water basins. A stone wash basin *chouzubachi Žθ…”«, made from part of a stone pagoda *houtou •σ“ƒ, the design of which is suggestive of a priest's surplice *kesa ŒUΎ (see *mitatemono chouzubachi Œ©—§•¨Žθ…”«). The basin is made from the cylindrical body *toushin “ƒg, of the pagoda, thus the striped priest's robe pattern kesadasuki ŒUΎŸO, engraved on the body becomes the distinctive feature of the basin. One variety of kesagata is the roketsu type, roketsugata chouzubachi ˜IŒ‹Œ`Žθ…”«, which has the Chinese characters ro ˜I (dew) and ketsu Œ‹ (togather) written on the front side of it. This is said to be the invention of Kobori Enshuu ¬Œ@‰“B (1579-1647) who employed a roketsu kesagata chouzubachi ˜IŒ‹ŒUΎŒ`Žθ…”« in the shoin garden *shoinniwa ‘‰@’λ at Daitokuji Kohouan ‘ε“ΏŽ›ŒΗβɈΑ in Kyoto.
