Born in 1966 in Nerima, Tokyo. After graduating from Rikkyo University, he studied ceramics at the Kyoto Prefectural College of Ceramic Technology, then trained at Happu Kiln in Shiga Prefecture and other workshops before establishing his own kiln in Iruma, Saitama in 1994. His signature "colored vessels" — featuring gradations, hailstone patterns, and tobikanna textures — are vibrant and varied. He has been selected three times for the Japan Ceramics Exhibition and has held solo exhibitions in Japan and abroad, including at Isetan Shinjuku, TIME&STYLE RESIDENCE, and in Amsterdam.
