He used the art names Suishosha, Yoka-do Kinshi, and Gaboku. He was a rare scholar among kiln owners, skilled in calligraphy, painting, poetry, and haiku. He became famous for carving calligraphy, paintings, and haiku on the then-popular square tokkuri, which he sold. In 1849, he was consulted by Sueaki Watarai (Usen Fukui), the Gon-negi of Ise Toyouke Daijingu Shrine, and answered by compiling the history of Bizen ware in "Gomon Gotō Koibe Shindenroku," which was later included in "Honcho Toki Kosho" co-edited by Tokusui Kanamori and Usen Fukui, and has since become a source book for Bizen ware history. He also lived in Edo for a time and received the treatment of a goshi (country samurai) from the Matsumae clan. He died on November 28, 1858. His posthumous Buddhist name was Reikoin Kyōen Daiga. #Flower_vase #Bizen_ware #BizenYaki #Bizen_pottery Ceramics Tea ceremony utensils Matcha tools Pottery Traditional crafts Collection Marked with artist's mark Artist's work Unglazed baked clay Six Ancient Kilns Handmade Flower vase Flower stand Vase Flower arrangement Flower arranging tools Ornament Interior Issho Tokkuri (1.8L sake bottle) Nisho Tokkuri (3.6L sake bottle) Antiques Old art objects Old playthings Period pieces Retro Vintage Antique Rare Precious Type...
