Ohashi San'emon was born in 1851 and died in 1895, his most active period was between 1875-1895 and his contemporary metal artists were Kakuha Kanzaemon IX (Kakuha Zenjiro), Yokoyama Yazaemon II (1845-1903) and Kanamori Soshichi (1821-1892), who were pioneering doki (Japanese bronze ware) based in Takaoka, Etchu Province and Kaga Province, present-day Toyama and Ishikawa prefectures. They made many fine bronze items for domestic and foreign exhibitions and for the oversea markets.

The history of casting copper alloys in Takaoka, the provincial capital of Etchu (present day Toyama Prefecture), is reputed to date to the early Edo period, the industry encouraged by the local feudal government as a source of income. Around 1830, new sales venues were developed, extending from Edo city to the northernmost part of the Japanese archipelago, eventually expanding to overseas export markets during the Bakumatsu era.
