Work at the Kanazawa Town Hall as a young man, but after the abolition of the feudal han domain system, he learned how to make Raku ware and tea ceremony ceramics working under Hara Gozan. He moved to Kyoto in 1977 where he worked at Gojozaka, returning Kanazawa two or three years later. After handing his kiln over to Nozaki Sakichi in 1985, he built a small kiln in Yuki. His work is said to be an excellent imitation of the mid-Edo period artist Aoki Mokubei, who favored the Kyo-ware style.
