Born in Aichi Prefecture in 1975. Growing up with ceramic artist parents, he took to pottery from his middle school years, and later studied under Junji Nomura, Jinenbo Nakagawa, and Ryoji Koie. After periods in Hida-Takayama and Matsue, Shimane Prefecture, he has been based in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture since 2016. He digs his own clay and fires his work in an anagama (wood-fired kiln), creating pieces using techniques such as Karatsu, Mishima, and hakeme.
