Real name is Akira. He finished his studies at the Kyoto City Ceramic Research Institute and the Art in 1941. He learned pottery from his father, Miwa Sekijun, and succeeded Shinshu Iida’s garden ware and Tenryukyo ware as a potter in 1950. Subsequently, he began to make small bonsai pots at the request of bonsai enthusiast Sakai Tadanari, which prompted him to produce more pots that are still highly popular with enthusiasts. He mainly focuses on producing yakishime ware (high-fired unglazed ceramics).
