Hirata Shigemitsu was one of the most prominent metal-hammering craftsmen of the Meiji period. He produced work mainly for the Imperial Household and also exhibited regularly in international exhibitions. With Kurokawa Eisho (1854-1917), Hirata initiated the metal-hammering division of the Tokyo Chokokai (Tokyo Society of Metal Artists), founded in 1887. Examples with Hirata's workshop seal "Suihitsu sei" are very rare.

For a pair of silver vases by Hirata Shigemitsu in the collection of the Imperial Household, see The Era of Meiji Bijutsu-kai and Nihon Kinko Kyokai, in Meiji bijutsu saiken I (Reappraisal of Meiji Art I) (Tokyo: Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan, 1995), no. 27.
