Asami Gorosuke, the sixth of his name, was born in 1951 in Gojozaka, Kyoto, into a family of renowned potters. The eldest son of Gorosuke V, he began his apprenticeship in 1972 under his father, absorbing traditional Kyoto ceramic techniques. He continued his training in 1973 at the Kyoto Industrial Testing Center, which gave him a more technical perspective on his art.

After this period of training, Asami Gorosuke moved to the United States. There, he developed his own style while working in the pottery industry. Upon his return to Japan, he continued to assist his father in the family workshop while creating works of his own. In 1987, one of his pieces was included in the Kyoto City Museum of Art, marking a significant milestone in his career.

In 1988, Asami Gorosuke officially succeeded his father, becoming the sixth to bear this prestigious name. Since then, he has continued the family legacy while holding solo exhibitions throughout Japan each year.
