In addition to his creative activities, he has made efforts to promote Satsuma ware through his participation in exhibitions at home and abroad, such as the 1970 Osaka World Exposition, and through his books introducing the pottery.
In 1989, he was appointed as the country's first Honorary Consul-General of South Korea, and in 1999 he became the first Japanese to be awarded the Korean Silver Crown Order of Culture. In 2000, he was awarded Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon in recognition of his many years of activities in cultural exchange between Japan and South Korea.
