In 1998, Okada Yoshiaki took over as Gyozan the 8th.
The Gyozans have participated countless times in World Expos, such as the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair in the Meiji era before he took over, and the 1924 Paris World Expo, contributing to the development of Kyo ware, and in 1986 they established an association in the Gojo neighborhood as a gathering place for ceramicists in the Gojo-saka area.
