Hata Zoroku I (b. 1823) was especially famous for his iron kettles used in tea ceremonies, which often featured intricate designs and ornamentation. His work gained recognition not only in Japan but also internationally. He was instrumental in preserving traditional Japanese metalwork techniques during a time of great social and political change. His works often displayed a balance between functionality and artistry, which helped solidify the demand for high-quality, handcrafted kettles. His success led to the establishment of the Hata Zoroku lineage, setting a high standard for future generations. Later generations continued to uphold the Hata Zoroku name, producing highly sought-after metal objects that reflected the blending of traditional craftsmanship with modern influences. Zoroku II (1854–1932) was active during the late Edo period into the Meiji era, a time of major social and economic transformation in Japan. He continued his father’s legacy in crafting fine kettles, but also expanded the family’s craft into more decorative objects. With the growing export market during the Meiji era, Zoroku II’s works reached international audiences. His pieces often exhibited a fusion of traditional Japanese and Western influences, reflecting the cultural shifts of the time. Zoroku II began incorporating newer techniques and styles, blending modernity with tradition. He experimented more with motifs such as landscapes, animals, and symbolic patterns, and his work was highly regarded in both domestic and international markets. His works were showcased in international expositions, contributing to Japan’s recognition as a center for exquisite craftsmanship. Zoroku III worked hard to ensure that traditional metalworking techniques were preserved during a time of industrialization. He was especially known for creating limited edition pieces that were highly valued among collectors of traditional Japanese art.
