The eldest son of the fourth Kikko Jihei, he divided their kiln in Jusan with his younger brother Jitsuzo (the fifth Kikko Jusoken), and set up a kiln near Kozu Shrine in Osaka’s Chuo area.
Later, after the 1912 south Osaka fire, he moved the kiln to Hirakata, and made pottery in Sagano, Kyoto for a period of time. He also set up a kiln inside Takagiri-in in Daitokuji Temple and received the artist name Ryuzan from Monk Genpo.
