His business name was Rojin. He continued his study of Momoyama pottery in Mino, which produced many famous ceramics from Momoyama to the early Edo period.
He used ana-gama (Underground cellar kiln) to produce ‘aburage te’ (a ceramic technique, one of the glaze tones of Kizeto. It refers to a glaze tone with a dark yellowish colour and little shine, like fried bean curd. It is also called Ayame-te) and is known as a master of Kizeto. He also produced other pottery for everyday use, such as kiln-decorated kohiki, oribe and beadlo glazed ware.
