In 1831, he returned to Yamashiro village and built a kiln in his own garden, creating pottery using a technique of fine red painting with gold glaze. This is said to have had a major influence on the emergence of the Miyamoto Kiln Hachiro technique. In 1850, he was called to Hikone Domain and worked to improve and develop Koto ware, particularly its red painting and gold glaze. Kizaki Banki, who contributed to modern Kutani ware, is his child. 古九谷美術館 Kokutani
