Born in Ibaraki Prefecture in 1975. In 2004, she began training under Michio and Yuko Kobayashi in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, and established her own studio there in 2008. Working from her home studio in Kasama, she creates pottery using her own original glazes. Her work is distinguished by the graceful gradations formed where glaze pools along the delicate ridged lines of shinogi carving, and spans a wide palette—white, dark brown, yellow, and more—yielding simple tableware and flower vases that blend quietly into daily life.
