Shinnosuke, the fourth generation, succeeded in firing Nashiji style celadon from Chitose Mountain clay in 1945, taking advantage of the iron content of the clay, and he became famous for pearl-brick earthenware jars, but he died in 1988. Later, he succeeded Seiryu Kiln. He won the Craft Award at the Kofu-kai Exhibition and other prizes. He was selected for the Japan Traditional Craft Exhibition and other prizes. Solo exhibitions include Onuma, Yamagata, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, and Sendai Fujisaki. His works are mainly white Zansetsu-glazed, purple celadon made with iron-containing coarse clay, and parted glaze that changes color in the kiln.
