Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1979. After graduating from the Faculty of Law at Kansai University, he worked as a photo retoucher for an advertising photographer. His interest in expressing color and texture led him to the world of ceramics, and he completed the program at Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Arts College. Since 2012, he has been based in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture. Using clay, slip, and glaze as layered elements in his own distinctive approach, he creates everyday pieces—kohiki, ash glaze, iron glaze, yakishime, and more—with a mysterious, captivating presence.
