Born in Toyama Prefecture in 1968. After graduating from the Film Department of Osaka University of Arts, he studied under Yasuto Imai, an Iga ware ceramist, and became independent in Ueno City, Mie Prefecture. He is currently based in Tamaki-cho, Watarai-gun, Mie Prefecture. His work is distinguished by a unique texture and tonality achieved by applying lacquer to the glaze before firing. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind work that functions as everyday tableware yet carries an artistic presence. He has won the gold prize at the Taiwan International Tea Ware Competition.
