Born in Chiba Prefecture in 1970. After graduating from Musashino Art University's Department of Craft and Industrial Design, she began making pottery through self-study in 1998. In 2012, she relocated to the Kunisaki Peninsula in Oita Prefecture and opened Kunisaki Katachi Kobo. She draws on local materials—wood ash from her stove, iron sand, and seashells—as glazes. Her signature series, "Kinari no Utsuwa," is known for its distinctive texture achieved through the kohiki (slip) technique. She lives a life that balances farming and pottery-making while crafting everyday tableware.
