He learned ceramic techniques from his youth under the first Yamada Jozan, who was known as a master craftsman. Around 1947, he began using his father's art name, Kojozan, and after his father's passing, he became the third Jozan.
In 1994, he was designated as a Holder of Aichi Prefecture's Intangible Cultural Property for his Shudei kyusu (vermilion clay teapots). In 1998, he was certified as the first National Designated Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property (Living National Treasure) from Aichi Prefecture for Tokoname ware (kyusu), carrying on the 1000-year tradition and history of Tokoname ware. This exquisite piece embodies Jozan's refined elegance and dignity.
