mushiake pottery
makuzu pottery

Born the eldest son of Miyagawa Chozo, founder of Makuzu-ware, his younger brother became the first Makuzu Kozan. Records show him working in the Mushiake kiln with his father until his father died and he inherited the family name as 2nd generation Chozo, but he died just three months after that, meaning that he left very few posthumous works behind. His work area, seal, and boxes were all the same as the work of his father. His eldest son, Hannosuke, followed the 2nd generation Miyagawa Kozan.
