After learning ceramic techniques at an early age from Tokoname potter Inaba Kodo II and studying in Enshu, he started a collaborative kiln in Nishibata Village, Hekikaigun where he developed Seitan ware.
He had superior techniques for both the potter’s wheel and hand work, and he created tea wares, sake sets, vases, hibachis, etc. In particular, he left behind a number of excellent Nanban technique tea sets. In his later years, he made his name in firing matcha bowls with salt glaze. He is famous as a master Tokoname craftsman from the Meiji Era through the Showa Era.
