He studied sculpture as a student, and then began his career as a potter under his father, the late Living National Treasure Yamamoto Toshu. Soon after going independent, he began to pursue new possibilities with the material "earth" and came up with his own unique ceramic-making method. He established "Shussai", a style that creatively expresses the color tones of "earth" through "beating" techniques. He then encountered "earth" in Burgundy, France, and continued his exploration, establishing "Tsumiage" through the creation of innovative forms. Based on the inherited Bizen style, he is one of the people who has breathed new life into the style by making full use of the unique methods established by Yamamoto Izuru.
