After completing his training, he worked independently for ten years, becoming known for his high level of technical skill. Later, he joined a local company, the Ohira Saw Factory. When the factory closed during the Taisho era, Seizo—then over 40 years old—was hired by the local Sato Kiyoshi Shoten (Store) to continue his work. The saws he produced there were widely acclaimed. He passed away on January 22, Showa 22 (1947).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665548493038,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF1947.jpg?v=1771232945","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/ja\/products\/kataba-noko-japanese-single-sided-rip-cutting-hand-saw-by-nakaya-seiemon-210mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
