male
kinkazan pottery
He is a potter of Kinkazan ware.
At first, Kyokusui was a tea store owner, but he began creating Raku ware, which carried on the traditions from the Edo period, along with other students of tea ceremony. In addition to Raku ware, he opened a kiln and began creating teacups, tea sets for green tea, and tea bowls, as well as goods for daily use. At the time, his works were widely distributed as craft goods near the foot of Mount Kinka in Gifu Prefecture, but few are presently in existence, making them valuable as materials for research.
His signature and seal involve Kinkazan written in cursive style and Kyokusui written inside a rabbit.
