此類型的茶入,因口徑寬廣、胴部扁平寬闊,故稱之為「大海」。
本件作品在器形、釉藥風格上皆與著名東山御物「打曇大海」頗為相似,但其口沿上方的甑(蒸籠狀口緣部)製作得稍為高挺些,器身整體則以轆轤技法拉坯,帶有較為明顯的圓潤感。


身通體以柿色為底色,其上施以帶有亮澤感的黑飴色釉,釉汁如行雲流水般自然垂流,交錯成富於變化的景色。器物之銘文「橫雲」,應正是取自於此種斑斕變幻之景象。底部則採用「板起」(板狀工具平整底部)的技法處理,腰身以下尚保留明顯的轆轤旋痕,增加器物整體視覺上的層次變化。
所附仕覆(茶入的布製外袋)則皆採用中國傳入之珍貴布料製成。
この手の茶入は、口が広々と大きく胴も扁平な形をしているところから「大海」の名で呼ばれる。本器は、作風釉調ともに、東山御物として名高い「打曇大海」に似るが、甑がやや丈高く立ち上がって作られ、身も全体に丸みを帯びて轆轤挽きされているのが特徴である。総体に柿色地に光沢のある黒飴釉がなだれるように掛かって文様をなしており、「横雲」の銘もむらむらとしたその景色に因んでつけられたものであろう。底は板起しとし、腰から下には轆轤目が立って変化をつけている。
仕覆は、両方とも中国渡りの裂

This type of chaire (tea container) is called "Taikai", meaning "large sea," due to its characteristically wide-open mouth and broad, flattened body.
In terms of both form and glaze quality, this particular piece closely resembles the renowned Higashiyama Gyobutsu (Treasures from the Higashiyama Imperial Collection) known as the "Uchigumori Taikai". However, distinctively, its rim (koshiki, or "steamer rim") rises slightly higher, and the overall body shape is notably more rounded, having been formed through careful wheel throwing.
The vessel features a glossy blackish-amber (kuroame) glaze cascading elegantly over a persimmon-colored (kaki-iro) ground, creating striking, dynamic patterns. Its poetic name "Yokogumo" (Horizontal Clouds) was likely inspired by these captivating, cloud-like glaze formations.
The base has been shaped by the ita-okoshi (flattened with a paddle or board) method, with visible wheel marks retained in the lower section, adding further visual variation and texture to the piece.
It is accompanied by two silk brocade pouches (shifuku), both crafted from textiles imported from China.
