Born in Kameoka, Kyoto Prefecture. He was called a child prodigy from an early age, and had a peculiar psychic ability. Following an oracle, he became a subordinate of the founder of the Omoto religion, Nao Deguchi in Ayabe, in the northern part of Kyoto prefecture, and together taught as leaders to salvation. Subsequently, he became the second teacher. Married Sumiko (the youngest child), and worked hard to further develop the Omoto religion as a psychic.
In addition, he left behind a huge number of works of art, such as writing, calligraphy, pottery, poetry and songs, which he independently studied, claiming that “art is a mother that gives birth to religion.” He is especially well-known in pottery, having meticulously hand-crafted 3,000 Yowan tea cups, which are known for their bright colors.
