Born in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture in 1975. He studied at the Okayama Prefectural Bizen Ceramics Center and apprenticed under Bizen ware artist Satoru Masamune. After building an anagama kiln in Nagano Prefecture, he moved to Miki Town, Kagawa Prefecture in 2016 and constructed a new anagama there. All of his work—spanning Nanban unglazed stoneware, kohiki, Oribe, ash glaze, and more—is wood-fired, resulting in pieces that balance power and delicacy. He presents his work through solo and group exhibitions centered in Kagawa, Kyoto, and Okayama.
