Received the store name of Zoshuntei from Nabeshima Naomasa, the 10th generation feudal lord of the Saga Domain, as he earned the trust of Naomasa and Nabeshima Naosuke, the 10th generation feudal lord of the Ogi Domain, in particular. Continuously researched new techniques, such as by researching glazes, and endeavored to establish works for export through trial and error.
