A potter based in Mashiko, Tochigi Prefecture. He uses clay filtered from local Mashiko earth, committed to sourcing natural materials close to home wherever possible. The ash for his white glazes comes from rice husks and straw provided by a neighboring farmer, and he works in two glaze families: nuka celadon and straw-ash glaze. His repertoire covers everyday pieces including yunomi cups, rice bowls, serving bowls, and mugs.
