Born in Osaka Prefecture in 1968. After graduating from the Kyoto College of Traditional Crafts, he worked at Tamba Tachikui Ware's Suebito-no-Sato pottery complex. In 2003, he established Komei Kiln in Kamiita Town, Tokushima Prefecture. Using stone-rich natural clay, he creates semi-porcelain everyday vessels that showcase the character of the raw earth—including stone-burst (ishihaze) textures and crazing (kanyuu). He is known for a wide range of techniques, including his Chunjun bird series featuring hand-painted sparrows and inlaid floral designs.
