As also known as Shikata Ryubun. Born to first-generation caster Ryubun (or adopted), he inherited the family business in 1805 and was given the name Ryubun II.
His strong point was his style of Chinese goods, and he left behind excellent works such as copper stationary, incense burners, bingake wares, etc. His work was favored by painters and calligraphers, and through that connection he became close friends with Raisan Yo and Aoki Mokubei. In his later years, he produced not only cast works, putting energy into creating fired pottery as well, of which he preferred making teacups and kyusu teapots.
