Born the first son of Shokoku II, Kano Shokoku III began studying ceramics making under Kiyomizu Rokubey VI in 1963 after graduating university. The following year, he received an honorary prize at the International Ceramic Biennale Vallauris.
In 1979, he participated in founding the Nihon Shinkogei Renmei (‘Japan New Arts and Crafts Union’), and accepted the Minister of Foreign Affairs Award at the Chunichi International Exhibition of Ceramic Arts that same year.
He further presented works at the Nitten Exhibition, where he gathered many wins, including being selected for the Special Prize in 1990 and 1998.
