 Sensō finally retired from his position with Tsunatoshi and returned to Kyoto when he was sixty-six years old, though he continued to make visits to Kanazawa on occasion, and that is where he died on the 23rd day of the 1st month of 1697, at the age of seventy-five.Sensō Sōshitsu is particularly remembered for his role in taking the potter Chōzaemon, who worked at the Raku family's workshop in Kyoto, to Kanazawa, and helping him to establish a kiln in the Ōhi section of town.This represented the birth of Ōhi ware pottery, an offshoot of Raku ware pottery.
