As an apprentice at the Hikone domain’s Koto ware workshop, he learned pottery from Kangin Denshichi, and became independent in 1876.
He started making wares at Awataguchi, Kyoto. At first, he used colored glaze to create replicas of ancient Imari and Nonomura Ninsei’s wares, but after Western illustrations were incorporated into Kurita ware, he started making Kyo-Satsuma ware together with the likes of Senkozan.
After winning multiple awards at the National Industrial Exhibition, his wares also earned favor in Europe.
