** EDITED -
Deceased potter Tojaku was born in Kyoto in 1935 and was one of the pioneers of modern small pots in Kansai.
He mastered a variety of techniques and created unique, precisely made pieces with character and interest for 40 years. The pieces I have come across have all been mame and shohin sized pots. Tojaku was also the teacher of the wonderful maker of shohin pots, Wajaku
(My apologies, I had this the wrong way round!)
