From Okayama Prefecture. 3rd son of the 1st generation Fujiwara Rakuzan and started making ceramics by studying under his father around the age of 20. Inherited the title of 2nd generation Fujiwara Rakuzan upon his father’s passing. Had absolutely no interest in status, fame, or wealth, having a complete artisan spirit and moody personality, and is said to have only made ceramics when he was in the mood to do so. There are few remaining works, which have become valuable.
Work style included Ao-Bizen coloring created by his father, the 1st generation, and produced incense burners, tea sets, and teacups.
