Born in Tokyo in 1983. After completing the Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Technical College in 2004, he worked at a pottery manufacturer before setting up independently in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. He has built a wood-fired kiln on his workshop grounds and continues to create in collaboration with younger artists. His work is characterized by a robust quality born from firing coarse-grained clay in a wood-fired kiln, and he crafts richly expressive vessels using traditional techniques such as iron glaze, kohiki, Mishima (inlay), and brushwork.
