Born as the eldest son of the 11th generation Kakiemon, he succeeded to the name of 12th Kakiemon with the death of his father in 1917.
In 1919, Obata Hideyoshi and Kakiemon established a limited partnership and started to use ‘Kakufuku’ on their products, but upon leaving the company in 2016, the ‘Kakufuku’ seal became the company’s property and so the Sakaida family began to use ‘Work of Kakiemon’ on their products.
During that time, he showed success through things like winning the silver medal at the Kyushu-Okinawa Prefectural Association Prize Show in 1919, and being designated as an arts and crafts custodian artist by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in 1940. In 1953, in commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the first generation Kakiemon, the eldest son Shibuo(later the 13th Kakiemon) and his grandson Sho(currently the 14th Kakiemon) recreated and revived the technique of ‘Nigoshide’.
In addition, he received awards like the Japan Traditional Crafts Association Award of Excellence in 1955, and the Grand Prize at the Brussels National Expo in 1958, and received the Order of the Sacred Treasure of the Fourth Class in 1962.
