He was the eldest son of the fifth Shogetsu and inherited the family business.
Apart from continuing the firing of pottery under his father’s guidance, he also learned calligraphy and haiku-writing from Ikuta Nansui, who was close to his father at the time, learned the techniques of Japanese painting from Kano Naganobu, and diligently studied culture and craft in general. In 1931, when Prince and Princess Chichibunomiya visited Kikko Kiln, they purchased his works; when the current (Showa) Emperor visited Osaka the following year, he also bestowed the honor of purchase.
