Born in Imbe. His father made a fortune in business and was a close patron of artists such as Kaneshige Toyo. As a result, he was exposed to Bizen ware from an early age. Under the influence of that time, he aspired to become a potter. He worked for a company until the end of the war and studied under Living National Treasure Kaneshige Toyo from 1945. When Kitaoji Rosanjin visited Kaneshige Toyo’s home, he learned his techniques together with Fujiwara Kei, Yamamoto Toshu and others. Became independent in 1961. Awarded a prize at the Japan Traditional Craft Exhibition. He is a master craftsman known as “Rokuro of Tokkuri” because He is a master sake vessel maker. Nakamura Rokuro is known not only in Bizen ware circles but also throughout the country as Nakamura Rokuro when it comes to sake ware. There is an anecdote that he was a heavy drinker himself, drinking day and night and emptying a bottle by the time he finished work.
