----------
After giving up his samurai career, he became a middleman for Nishijin textiles under the name "Echigoya Hanbei." He also trained in the tailoring of bags, and was taken in by the sixth head of the Omotesenke school, Kakukakusai, to begin sewing tea caddy covers.
From the second generation onwards, the head of the family was commonly known as Hanshiro, and when he retired and shaved his head he took the name Tomoko. Up until the fifth generation, the family was a bag maker specialising in making shifuku (seals), and the 12th generation (who took the name in 1965) currently makes shifuku (seals) for tea caddies, hakama (cloths), and kakuobi (belts) for tea ceremony utensils.

・The Ten Senke Craftsmen are an honorific title for ten craftsmen, including lacquerers and joiners, who are involved in the tea ceremony and frequent the three Sen schools (Omotesenke, Urasenke, and Mushakojisenke). During the Meiji period, the names were reorganized into the current Ten Craftsmen. (There is also a theory that the Mitsukoshi department store was the creator of the name during the Taisho period.)
