Born in Saitama in 1985. After graduating from Kyoto University of Art and Design's ceramics course in 2007, he joined Galerie Momogusa — run by ceramic artist Masanobu Ando — where he trained under him. He left in 2019 and now works from a studio in Nakatsugawa, Gifu. Using slab-building and coil-building techniques, he creates vessels that are both smooth to the touch and warm with the quality of handwork. He blends his own glazes in pursuit of a nuanced "white" reminiscent of Joseon- and Song-dynasty ceramics.
