Known as Uematsu Chotaro, he sold bonsai pots in Tokyo, later commissioning kilns around the world to produce original pots that he had designed. Took advantage of this to financially support Mizuno Haramatsu’s Harumatsu Pottery Garden, a pot-only designed to concentrate production. There was a time when Chotaro was teaching pottery techniques to Harumatsu’s younger brother Mizuno Masao and pulled his work out of the kiln and took it to the Tatsuta River to make it, laying a foundation for his later famous Uematsu Tosui bowls.
