Wazen EIRAKU (Zengoro EIRAKU the 12th) / 永楽和全（12代 永楽善五郎）
1823 (Bunsei 6) – 1896 (Meiji 29)
He was the eldest son of Hozan and was given the childhood name Sentarō. Together with his brother-in-law, Sōzaburō (Kaizen), he established the Omuro Kiln at the site of the Ninsei Kiln, marking the beginning of his serious pottery career. After retiring at the age of 44, he was invited by the Kaga Daishoji clan to guide the production of Kutani ware in Yamanaka. In 1882, he left the Yubashizume Town and established the Kikutani Kiln in Higashiyama, Kyoto.
During this time, after losing his wife and becoming deaf, he adopted the name "Jōkenken" (The Deaf Hermitage). Despite the financial difficulties left by Hozan, he managed to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
