Shimizu Tasaburo the First learned pottery techniques from his uncle, Wake Kitei, then opened his own kiln in Gojozaka. The Mashimizu Zoroku artist name began when he changed his name to Zoroku, took the letter “Ma” from Myoho-in Temple, and named himself “Mashimizu Zoroku.”
Using techniques such as overglaze decoration, kinrade, and celadon ware, Zoroku the First mainly created matcha and green tea wares. For his potter’s mark, he used a mark that was gifted to him from Gengensai Soshitsu.
