三十代の頃，京都・大徳寺立花大亀老師（たちばなだいきろうし）と出会い
老師に茶湯の心，つまりは侘び寂びを師事し
作家活動を辞め時も人も超える作品作りに没頭していきました。
納得のいく土を探し出し、土に聴き
「上手に作りたい、自分を表現したい」
邪念を捨て、土の個性を引き出すことに全身全霊を注がれました。
吉兆湯木美術館，アメリカエール大学美術館，クラーク日本美術文化研究センター，滋賀県立陶芸の森陶芸館などに収蔵されています。
We have received Shigaraki Uzukumaru by Sugimoto Sadamitsu.
Its tranquil appearance is beautiful.
In his thirties, he met Tachibana Daiki Roshi of Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto, and studied the spirit of the tea ceremony, in other words, wabi-sabi, under him.
He quit his work as an artist and devoted himself to creating works that transcend time and people.
He found clay that he was satisfied with, listened to the clay, and said, "I want to make it well, I want to express myself."
He cast aside evil thoughts and poured himself wholeheartedly into bringing out the individuality of the clay.
His works are housed in the Kitcho Yuki Museum of Art, Yale University Art Museum, Clark Center for Research in Japanese Art and Culture, and Shiga Ceramic Cultural Museum.
