The Yamaaki kiln was founded in 1920, making it one of the oldest contemporary workshops in Tokoname. Its founder, Akiji Kataoka, established a ceramic tradition that would endure for generations. After his death in 1990, his sons, Sadamitsu Kataoka (known artistically as Koshōsen) and Toshio Kataoka, continued the family kiln's operations. Akiji Kataoka signed his works with the artistic name Jūōdō (Juodo) Shōsen, though he is more commonly known simply as Shōsen.
