He was born in Seto, the son of a potter, Kato Hozaburo, and worked in the family business from an early age, assisting his father in the production of pottery. At the age of 15, he went to Kyoto to study pottery making.
After returning to Seto, he taught pottery techniques at a pottery school, and also started making pottery himself.
After opening a kiln for Nagono-yaki ware in 1914, he constructed the Kasumori Kiln, producing raku ware with a distinctive glaze known as “Tatsuta-nishiki”. He died in 1943.
