This bowl was examined by Fujio Koyama (1900-1975), one of the most well-known scholars of Joseon ware, who was also the former director of the Tokyo National Museum. The box bears his inscription on both sides of the cover, referring to the bowl as Buncheong ware from the early Joseon dynasty and also about two inscriptions inside the bowl.
