From his early years, Tamakaji, along with studying the lacquer industry and carrying on his father Rizaemon's work, also studied engraving and in the 10th year of the Tenpō Period (1839), at the age of 33 he sculpted 1806 pieces of flowers, birds and insects. Matsudaira Yorihiro (1798–1842) rewarded Zokoku with samurai status in 1835 in recognition of his impressive work and gave him the name Tamakaji in 1839. Lord Yorihiro allowed him to use a sword on rhinoceros horn pieces because of his talent."
