Born as the eldest son of Rokubei III and became the fourth-generation successor upon his father’s death in 1883.
Learned painting from Shiokawa Bunrin from a young age and had a close relationship with Kono Bairei, Tomioka Tessai, and others.
His style includes traditional items such as Shigaraki and Iga ware as well as the Nanban, Irabo, Ninsei, and Kenzan styles. He left behind many simple and gentle works.
He was also skilled at carving, particularly crab molds.
