A ceramicist born in 1978 in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture. While studying abroad in Australia, an encounter with the work of Nordic potter Berndt Friberg sparked his passion for ceramics. After returning to Japan he studied at a pottery school, and in 2014 launched his career as a full-time studio artist. Drawing on forms and colors he finds beautiful, he creates vessels, plant pots, and flower vases using his own distinctive glazes and neriage (marbling) techniques. His work has been selected for exhibitions including the Contemporary Tea Ceramics Exhibition and the Mino Chawan Exhibition. In 2023 he relocated to Tateshina, Nagano Prefecture, where he built his own kiln.
