A ceramic artist whose work is guided by the theme of "quiet, settled vessels for everyday use." His primary technique is "kata-uchi" — pressing wheel-thrown clay bodies into plaster molds and tapping them into shape — and he produces semi-porcelain pieces including mugs, cups, bowls, and Western-style plates. Within minimalist forms, the subtle wavering of hand-worked lines and the nuanced surfaces of his glazes create tableware that brings a quiet tension to daily life.
