Born in Hokota, Ibaraki. After graduating from the ceramics course at Kyoto University of the Arts and Crafts and completing studies at the Ibaraki Prefectural Kasama Ceramic Art University, he honed his skills at "Otsu Akira Kiln," a distinguished Kasama-ware kiln, before establishing his own studio in Kasama, Ibaraki in 2023. Combining Kasama clay with a metallic glaze he developed himself, he produces tableware that pursues harmony with cuisine — including the "Rock Bark" series, which evokes the textures of rock surfaces and tree bark.
