Daiki Toyosuke 4th
1813–1858
male
horaku pottery

Born in the family of a potter who served the Owari-Nagoya clan as an official potter for generations. The family name of this kiln was Kato for generations, but after the third generation, the family name was changed to Daiki on his mother’s side. He is believed to be the fifth generation, although this is not known for certain due to the existence of multiple sources.
He learned pottery from Kato Toyohachi, also he learned Japanese tea ceremony and literature of Kawamura Kyokuzen, and Haiku poetry of Yoshiwara Kozan.
Other than Toyohachi’s pottery techniques, he also developed his own wares based on Raku ware techniques, creating utensils with fine texture adorned with gold lacquer, engravings, and overglaze. They were called “kigu-utsushi (copying wooden utensils)” because they were ceramics but looked like wooden utensils.
In 1838, he received the title of “Horaku” from Tokugawa Naritaka, and from then on, his works were stamped with the Horaku seal.
When the eighth generation died in 1925, there was no one to succeed him, and Horaku pottery ceased to exist.
