Born in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, to a family that was a potter in the Edo period and a potter of Japanese tableware since the Meiji period, he began to reproduce yohen (pottery that changes color when fired) in 1995, following the research of his father, Nagae Sokichi VIII. In 1995, he took over the research of his father, Nagae Sokichi VIII, and started to reproduce Yohhen ware. He also published a paper on “Research on the reproduction of Yohhen’s glaze” at the International Conference of Science and Technology of Ceramics and Porcelain, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and others. In addition to the reproduction of Yohen-tenmoku, he also presented his own work, “Yoyosan” is an impeccable and beautiful pottery piece that emits rainbows at times, and auroras at others.
