The second son of the 9th generation Saka Koraizaemon. With Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s dispatch to Korea, Mori Terumoto, who ruled the entire Chugoku region at that time, had brought back a potter from Korea and named him Sakata at first, but later changed his name to Saka. After Terumoto was forced to move to Hagi by the Shogunate, the potter received the name Koraizaemon from the 2nd Hagi feudal lord, Mori Tsunahiro, and the 10th generation of Saka Koraizaemon continued to use it to the present.
The tenth generation Koraizaemon, inherited the family business due to his brother’s premature death, and with the death of his father in 1921, he succeeded to the 10th generation name. In 1943, he was certified as an arts and crafts custodian of Hagi-ware.
