As known as Takatori Hachizan 11th. Born as the eldest daughter of Takatori X, head of the Takatori ware family. While she was living in Tokyo, she and her father began the revival of the Takatori Kiln (the kiln was discontinued in its 9th generation with the abolition of feudal domains).
After her father’s passing, she opened her first kiln in 1958 and held her first solo exhibition at the Mitsukoshi Main Store in 1961. Through this opportunity, she was given the pen name Seizan by Muneaki, the 11th generation head of the Enshu school. Since then, under the name Takatori Seizan, she developed traditional Takatori ware teacups mainly at department store solo exhibitions in various locations. She is considered the revivalist of Takatori ware.
