Yokoi Sosuke was based out of Sonoicho in Nagoya, and his work primarily involved adding artwork to pottery. He created artwork for Meiji-era export pieces during the Tenpo era from 1830 to 1844, for which he requested unglazed pottery from Seto’s Kato Shigeju. He received the coveted Homon (‘phoenix’) Award at the first and second National Industrial Exhibitions.
