tokoname pottery
Born as the younger brother of the 1st generation Yamada Jozan. Studied ceramic techniques from his older brother. Also acquired Shigaraki, Iga, and other ceramic techniques on his own, leaving positive results for the creation of large ceramics, such as producing hibachi using the potter’s wheel, which is a technique that did not exist in Tokoname ware before.
Also known as a pioneer of Tokoname ware techniques that do not use the potter’s wheel (one of the teapot creation techniques brought to Tokoname by Kin Shiko from the Gikoyo kiln in China).
