Real name Keiichi. Completed his training at the Kyoto Ceramics Research Institute in 1929. Worked in Tajimi on the manufacture of oxidative flame-glazed mosaic tiles starting in 1948. Created a small tunnel kiln in 1954. After work with cockscomb red, new cinnabar red, and peacock Tenmoku glazes, he focused entirely on pottery based on his many years of glaze research and established the Kokei kiln.
