He showcased his signature Jōmon zōgan (rope-impressed inlay) technique. This technique involved rolling hand-braided silk cords (made by his father) across wet clay and filling the impressions with contrasting white or colored slip. Seibu Department Stores (specifically the Seibu Ikebukuro and Seibu Utsunomiya branches) served as primary exhibition partners for Shimaoka and his workshop. Seibu routinely hosted his major milestones.
