3rd Generation: Shimizu Rokubei 1820 (Bunsei 3) - 1883 (Meiji 16)The third Shimizu Rokubei was born in Kyoto as the second son of the second Shimizu Rokubei.
His childhood name was Kuritaro, his given name was Rokubei, and his pen name was Shoun.
As his elder brother Shimizu Shichibei branched off from the family,
he took on the name of the third Shimizu Rokubei in 1838 (Tenpo 9).
In 1848 (Kaei 1), he purchased the kiln of Maruya Kahei in Daibutsu Yoshino-cho. In 1853 (Kaei 6) , he produced the "Daiyukimi Hexagonal Lantern"
at the request of the Imperial Palace Guardians Okubo Okuma-no-kami and Hasegawa Hizen- no-kami. He is said to have also participated in the Koto-yaki ware of the Ii family in Hikone, and Seto-yaki and Goryeo-copy tea bowls were used at tea ceremonies held by Ii Naosuke and his associates from 1855 (Ansei 2) to 1858 (Ansei 5) . He also worked on porcelain and ceramic sculptures, such as blue and white porcelain, colored paintings, and celadon, and after the Meiji Restoration, he also produced Western-style tableware. In 1873 (Meiji 6), he was appointed as an official inspector of the Industrial Promotion Office, and in 1875 (Meiji 8), he received a bronze medal at the Kyoto Exposition, and subsequently received medals at the first Domestic Industrial Exposition, the Sydney Exposition, and the Amsterdam Exposition. He was also appointed as a judge at the Kyoto Exposition, and is revered as the "founder of the revival of the Shimizu family," who maintained his family business during the turbulent period of the Meiji Restoration. He used two hexagonal seals, one large and one small, "Sei," made by the 435th abbot of Daitokuji, Otsuna Munehiko, a hexagonal seal "Sei," a gourd-shaped seal "Guami," and a cursive seal "Seiroku," which he received from Lord Ii, the lord of Hikone in Omi Province.
