shinonome pottery
Born in Atsuta, Nagoya, Beikin’s family business was an antique dealer, but Beikin became interested in pottery at a young age and worked at the Yosamu-ware kiln in Furusawa-cho. In the course of Beikin’s business, Beikin often came in contact with masterpieces of antiques, which Beikin used as models for Beikin’s pottery. Beikin handled all aspects of tea ceremony ceramics, and left behind masterpieces that rivaled those of any professional potter. Died in 1941 at the age of 56.
