Masaki Sōzaburō

Masaki Sōzaburō (正木惣三郎 1801–50) was a Japanese samurai and potter during the Edo period from Owari Province.

He studied under Hirasawa Kurō and made mainly Shino ware or Kiseto tea utensils.

Among tea utensils, he specialised in finely crafted incense holders and figurines.

His style was influenced by the tastes at the Owari Tokugawa court at Nagoya Castle which produced Ofukei ware.
