This was Nishimura Zengoro, commonly called Hozen, but better dis- tinguished by his potter s name, Eiraku. He was a descend- ant of an old family of potters, and commenced to make porcelain after working at Arita in 1801-3. Like the potters already mentioned, his first wares were copies of Chinese cdladons, blue-and-white pieces and the Koahi-yaki. His success, in the lines traced out by his... predecessors, was so great that he attracted the attention of Harunori, the Prince of Kishu, who, in 1827, invited him to his Court, assigned him lodgings and set up kilns for him in the castle park.
