A ceramic artist based in the western part of Sendai. Working primarily with kohiki (white slip), ash glaze, and iron glaze, and employing techniques such as wheel-throwing, hand-building, and faceting, he creates functional tableware for everyday use. He uses homemade wood ash in his glazes, giving his pieces a distinctive, one-of-a-kind surface quality. Pursuing ceramics that are "quiet, dignified, and strong at the core," his lineup includes plates, bowls, mugs, and suribachi mortar bowls, among others.
