A potter named Toshiro Seijiuemon, he moved to Kyoto in 1648 under the order of Soma, the Nakamura feudal lord of Iwaki Province (Fukushima Prefecture). Following 7 years of training under Nonomura Ninsei of Omuro, he returned to his hometown and received a letter from his teacher. After this, he began calling himself Seijiuemon. In 1867, at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, Seijiuemon XI received the pen name Hokkyo from the feudal lord. The current head of the family is Tashiro Hideto XV.
